Other than that though, you were totally with me,
right?  :-)

The OS was SCO OpenServer release 5.  I was referring
to filepro user menu scripts.  The ones that start
"/fp/menuname.-?"  What I was trying to do was to get
the name of the script into my log file.  These
scripts do not run menus, they typically run dclerk or
dreport processes.

What I ended up doing was for each menu script, adding
the line: "/appl/fp/dclerk lib -z logger -s1 -rw $0 -r
pathinfo"  

This lets me access the menu script name that I need
as the @rw variable.  I then pass specific path
information after the -r.

This seems pretty obvious now, I guess I was just
having a mental block for a while there.
