Hi Takita,

I've taken a different approach when writing splish. I've instead got
an onstartup event which checks for particular environment variables.

If it finds them it performs tasks based on their value then quits
XSI. If not then it leaves XSI run as normal.

You might find it to be a more flexible approach.

Cheers,

Alan.
