Or other suggustions? Semicolon is a strange but valid character to use in a domain's name. It's the user's responsibility to escape any strange characters in the shell prompt. We don't allow '/' in domain names because we use them in filenames. Explicitly rejecting it would be nicer than letting the file creation fail, but rejecting any new characters would unnecessarily break existing domains. Jan
