Aaron, or anybody who knows and cares to answer,

Could you give an example of the format for the <FlushCommand 
type="string"/> command?

I've been trying to get it to run a .BAT file after a file has been printed, 
but it just ignores the .BAT file. I've been entering the path/filename in 
every which way I could think of, both directly through the XML file and 
from within drivewire itself, but I'm obviously not doing it correctly.

Thanks
