Gehan,

With MPE command file parameters, you can explicitly 
reference them when you execute the file:
E.g.
   sf 6000 pri=1
or
   sf cops=2 spf=5876 pri=2 dev=lp2

Also, in your PARM line in the command file, leave out the
"!" for each parameter name as there's no need for them:
   PARM spf, dev="200", pri="13", cops="1"

 I was wondering where I can find some more information about
parameters. For instance when you do an hp command you use:
spoolf 6002;dev=201;pri=13;copies=1

In my command file I have:
PARAM spf, !dev="200", !pri="13", !cops="1"

Then I can do:
sf 6002,201

 Which is nice except I noticed on the spoolf command you can
put the parameters in any order. On mine they are parameter
spesific. For instance I can't send 2 copies with all other
options left to default by going:
sf 6002,2

I have to allow for the other parameters:
sf 6002,,,2

Is there any way to specify parameters by ; rather then , such
as something like:
sf 6002;cops=2

Just curious,
