One suggestion would be to pipe the oputput to a file and use VB
to inspect the file when done. This would be especially useful if
you were doing several conversions at a time as it would provide
a record of the entire task.
See what happens when your command like looks like:
cnvrtwfm -l tek00001.wfm > task.txt
That should generate a task.txt file with your desired output.
