Example

Sub main()

 call DBWShell( "TrackEvents 0" )
 call DBWShell( "SWOpen C:\Program|Files\dbworks\regressionTest\handlebar\Brake|Handle|Pivot|Nut.SLDPRT" )
 if (okDBW ) then
  call DBWShell( "SWSave" )
  call DBWShell( "SWSaveAs F:\temp\test.sldprt" )
  call DBWShell( "SWClose" )
 end if
 call DBWShell( "TrackEvents 1" )
end sub

Please note in this example the TrackEvents parameter. If set to 1 it does not allow the program to take sign of occurred events (Save/Close/Open). It is useful to not record certain data in the database.
