[QUOTE="teststrips, post: 268023, member: 69045"] I figured out another way to do this - i modified my batch file to use temporary files to remember what was done last instead of using environmental variables. I created a folder called batch under c:\ and have my script create and delete files lights1.txt, lights2.txt, and lights3.txt [CODE]@echo off if exist c:\batch\lights1.txt goto option1 if exist c:\batch\lights2.txt goto option2 if exist c:\batch\lights3.txt goto option3 echo NO FILE EXISTS pause :option1: echo Main lights on "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendrf c2 on echo 2>c:\batch\lights2.txt del c:\batch\lights1.txt exit :option2: echo movie lights ON "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendrf c1 on echo main lights off "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendrf c2 off echo 3>c:\batch\lights3.txt del c:\batch\lights2.txt exit :option3: echo movie lights off "C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe" sendrf c1 off echo 1>c:\batch\lights1.txt del c:\batch\lights3.txt exit[/CODE] hooray for DOS :-) [/QUOTE]
