Maybe someone could help me with my problem.

I need to write a batchfile with NT4, that calls a VBScript.
The vbscript should return a string variable to the batchfile.
Can that be done somehow? AFAIK the CALL command
only gives parameters to the invoked procedure, but not
vice versa?

The batchfile looks like:

call x.vbs                  
rem vbscript computes a string variable (ret=inputbox(....))
rem that should be returned to the batchfile
echo %ret%

or like that.

But this example doesn't work.
(Vbscript runs fine, no errors there)

Some ideas or proposals?

Thanks a lot!!!
