Just to add to my above question...

I want to use outside script files to control the AI of a game i am writing. I use the MSScript in VB to control to read the scripts and control their flow. Its a great solution. I expose my vb objects to the script..
But I need to return that info to the DBP engine.
I use DB to as my display engine...but I need the VB program to interpete the scripts

Anyone have some ideas

Look in the help file under "File Commands" for "Execute File". This allows you to shell execute another file, and also allows for command line switches to be added. Returning information from this external program is a bit more difficult, the fastest way probably being to have the program create a file, then read it in your main program. Please note, this may not be the only way to communicate with external things, it's just what I could come up with in 2 seconds.

Update: Look in help under "System Commands". The first 5 commands listed deal with DLLs.
