Display Manager variables are created per DM/FV instance. The ones that can be changed using pref - like PICK1, P1-P8, and DMCMD - are actually OM variables whose names are: <dmName><globalName> For example, WP0001PICK1 WP0001P1 WP0001DMCMD Are the mentioned variable associated with a DM called WP0001. Make sense?

I'd like to confirm that the values returned by this, are a property of the display manager instance, and not per workstation, or CP. That is if I have multiple display manager sessions running on a given workstation, the values returned for these picks won't interact between sessions, right? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
