Carl,

Look for CJCW.

Note it's "non existence" at first,
but after exiting the shell it exists with
the exit condition specified.

In our scripts we always "exit" with a number indicating success or failure.
If we are in the posix shell we can check the variable "$?" to see the exit
code.  If we run them from an MPE command line what is the equivalent
variable?
