Well, I know I may be ranting about this a little bit. Just thinking that there must be a better way to handle this SetConsole("HIDE") thingy.

Most folk just slap that statement in their scripts, without giving much thought to us old farts that like to run things from the command line [Wink] . What I usually do, when a see a script with a HIDE in it, is to manually go in and comment it out ... would be nice (in theory) if one didn't have to do that.

Having said that, maybe this suggestion for a new function and/or in combination with a best pratice could be devised for scripts that use the HIDE feature. Maybe just as simple as suggesting that the SetConsole("SHOW") be performed before exiting ... just not sure if thats advisible given the (potentially) unknown state of the console ...
