Good to know. But wouldn't "flush()" or something still have worked? Maybe try isolating the issue, Jim. Write a test script and slowly add things to it until you get to the point where it's buffering too much. Maybe it internally buffers whatever commands you're trying to run (you using exec or something?) and doesn't hold it in the "output buffer" per se. Maybe it's in a different buffer. I don't know. Mind posting some sample code for us to look at? -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank M.
