MikeB,
I think you expect too much from KiX.  How do expect KiX to get the information remotely from Wntendos?  It would require an agent just like WMI.
Second, how can a macro accept parameters?  By its nature, a macro works without parameters.

You need to face reality, that Wintendo is mostly unmanaged.  The sooner you realize that and move to Win2k the better.
