Okay, knew that but why is it than that if you do the following:

$A1 = "\\SERVER\BATCH$"
$A2 = "\\SERVER\BATCH$$"

$A1 works only if it is called from the console, but doesn't if the console is not on the fore-ground.

$A2 definetely if it is called from a child window, did not test from the console.
