I search around the forum for a simple example of script to script communication, but could find an example I liked, so I thought I would write my own. The end result is a script that I want to run as a context menu item in Explorer. I wanted to be able to only run one script when multiple files are selected and the context menu selected. Normally DDEExec is required to do this, which I don't think AutoIt can do. The result is a methodology that could be extended other type of script comms.
