hi everyone!

just a follow-up to this question....

if you're writing a script that is going to call/use/xeq another script
and both scripts are using io redirection, you simply need to
re-reference hpstdin for the calling script when control returns to the
caller.  an easy call to finfo:

        finfo(hpstdin, "fullfname")

will point hpstdin back to the file the calling script is using.

i haven't tested this, but it seems to me that this is not limited to
just two script.  you could have a script...calling a script...calling
a script (and on and on) with each using io redirection.  as long as
you're good about reestablishing hpstdin on *return*, then you should
be fine.

enjoy!          - d
