    Is there an easy way to do this in baja?

    If xxxx.bin is running from logon/login, show/do this
    If it is running from elsewhere (ie. a menu), do this instead

    Sure, you use command line paramters when calling your module from each location. Then you just need to do a simple check of them to see what code to execute.

    You would execute the module something like:

    exec "*MYMOD -option1 -option2"


    Then, at the beginning of your module somewhere right before entry point justy add a couple lines like this to grab the command line paramters before str gets over written. (the command line parameters are automatically put into "str" when you execute a BAJA modules).

    #########
    copy cmdline str
    strupr cmdline
    #########

    From there is simple checks on the cmdline variable to control where your program goes.

    Depending on where it is called you may be able to just check to see if the user has logged in already.

    Woo! That should work great, thanks!

    Why strupr? Personal preferance?

    Not necessary really, just makes it easier to compare mixed-case parameters.
