Charles:
I was trying list selected fields (target and agrument) from two different shortcuts with a single invocation of MKSC. I failed! I could use a wildcard to select multiple shortcuts to be partially displayed, or use individual MKSC commands for each, but could not use either an argument list or an include list. Careful reading of HELP MKSC shows that there is not even a hint that there can be more than a single link-file argument, and displaying the content of more than one file is mentioned only in conjunction with wildcards and directory recursion, but IMHO the limitation to a single file specification argument should be made more explicit. It is easy enough to use FOR to handle several, and I have a hard time conceiving of a scenario where the limitation is has a serious effect. My estimate is that this mode of MKSC is typically used only interactively anyway.
