Thanks, that works great... My next problem is that the values would actually be more like:
xmessage -print -buttons "Dave's laptop:22.22.22.22" test
The exit value will actually be an IP address. When I run the above the exit value will always show as "22", and not "22.22.22.22".
I may have to rely on some kind of mapping table unless you guys have any other ideas?
