Thanks to those who answered my question on elinks. Now what could cause a program to run properly inside gdb but not from the shell? If I run it inside gdb it produces the expected output. If I run it from the connand line the desired output file is opened but contains nothing, while another file is written which shouldn't be. Thanks, John -- John J.
