Funny, I posted my clipboard routine to communicate to another program here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread...04#pid8104
I coded that for my buddy from Germany, so he could open up a second window and load a pic determined in the main program.
It's a nice technique if you want to avoid setting up a communications database.
There is a way to pipe contents using SHELL, too. I have that buried somewhere. I think maybe Spriggsy came up with that method at .rip.
Now I could be wrong, but I see no reason for /RUN in the SHELL statements. The SHELL call itself runs the program.
Fun stuff!
