Maybe I missed it in the books and help file but
I am looking for a way to do the same thing as the
arev PCPERFORM command (i.e. ERASE c:\temp\*.*)
and PERFROM (i.e. SELECT table BY NAME).
How is this done correctly in OI??

Use the RLIST subroutine:
RLIST( "SELECT table BY NAME",5,
,,'')

For the PCPERFORM :
You can use the UTILITY function:
Sorry, I have not tried the ERASE (an MSDOS command).
What I have tried are the exe file.
Example, if you want to execute EXPLORER.EXE then
the syntax is :
status=UTILITY("RUNWIN", "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,c:\")
You can place this command in the CLICK event of a BUTTON in the form.
Hope to hear from you.

Thank you.
Now is there a difference between using RList in a script
by Call Rlist, x=Rlist, Rlist, as far as returning values.
I am not clear as to how to find out if any items were selected or if an error was encountered with the select, or processing on the items returned.
Also, how can one have a "spinner" or something display while
the engine is selecting the items from the table?
Lots of question I realize but have a hard time with the documentation
and examples provided.
Thank you in advance if you are able to respond!

Check @Rec.Count
Displaying progress is most easily done by including a symbolic which updates some form of progress indicator. Alternatively just call utility Cursor to make an hourglass!

Brooks-
Most of the commands that you would call from the Perform statement in Arev have been Subroutinized- ie turned into subroutine calls.
Look at the documentation for the individual routines.
Selects can be done the the Rlist subroutine.
You might want to attend the RTI introduction course, or Advanced Basic+ programming course, which we teach. Call 800 262 4747 for details.
Hope it helps-

R. Brooks,
In addition to Utility("RUNWIN"), there are various other utilities for working with files and directories:
CHOOSEDIR
CHOOSEFILE
MAKEDIR
REMOVEDIR
RENAMEDIR
RENAMEFILE
There is also an OSDELETE command for deleting files.
