Are you sure? Cause I'm pretty sure sure it doesn't. the process list always shows the executable name. You cannot change this on NT.	[reply]

When running the program I get this output: x:\ActiveState Komodo 2.5\Mozilla\Perl-1.pl SET_0_WORKS So it seems to work on my machine. Well at least it produces the expected output (as was asked to check by the OP), but that doesn't mean it DWIM.	[reply] [d/l]
