Thanks Darrel. I suppose that is what Dave was pointing at, but I didn't get it. That will do what I want, (be able to use defaults conditionally). So we CAN pass things to the .BAS just not the .INC?

Now to refresh the python skills or work on liberty basic and parse the files so I can be lazy and not do it by hand. OK I know it will be far easier to just open the files and change them. But what will I learn that way??
