I thought  what Faisal said was what I used but that produced garbage.

USER track="/usr/bin/gotrack001"<@rn


I know I did this with version 4.5 but I can find the source I had.
It says in the manual that you can send argument with the syntax
track=m
track=n
etc

What is the proper sequence to do that?

I can use system with temp files but that is making a mountain out of a 
mole hill.

Thanks for your responses
