Richard ... two things ...

1) Redirection to stdout is possible using a little trick we found. Set ASCII ON at the top of your script:

Code:

break on

$= setoption("ascii","on")

?"hello world"

exit 0


Then you can redirect or pipe the output for example using the above script:

E:\>kix32 test | findstr /i "hello"
hello world
E:\>

2) I agree 100% whole-heartedly with your first comment (about adding language enhancements versus new functions) ... I would love to see COM event handling, object oriented features, dotnet support and all those other sexy things you mentioned. Think Kixtart is due for some more jazzing-up ;0)
