Passing data between filepro tasks

[Del]

From Ken’s reply, I gather putenv and getenv will not work from daugher task to mother task.

PUTENV and GETENV sounds like a much easier thing to do

Yes, that is exactly what I was planning to do if there was no better way. 
Sigh - its really just one number that I have to pass back, but it has to be 
done.

Create a filePro file with a single memo field.  From the main file,
lookup-free to create a record, and WRITE it.  Pass the record number via
one of the -r* flags.  In the child process, write the return info into that
record's memo.  When back in the parent, re-read the record, grab the info,
and delete the record.
