Yes.

The original article in the thread was concerned with one particular
point.  That example was partly from what I already have, with the third
column by hand.  It will be to produce something similar but with other
information.

But the core of the situation is that all CScript output is through

        function Right(N, Str) { N = Hush[N]
          if (N == "0") return
          if (N == "1") WScript.StdOut.Write(Str)
          if (N == "2") WScript.StdErr.Write(Str)
          if (N == "3") txtStreamOut.Write(Str)
          }

in which almost all Str end with a newline; and I want to use

          if (N == "4") SOMETHING(Str)

[ after having detected (which I can do) WScript ] to get a
corresponding display.

If that can be done, the application is no longer just a CScript
application usable only by those who can find and use a DOS-like command
line, but it is usable also by those who only use GUI routines.


Another approach would be to use the same code in an HTA, which I would
have to learn about.
