Hi guys, Well as you can probably tell, I'm a relatively newbie when it comes to Linux (wry grin). Maybe all of my problems will magically disappear when I install Redhat 6.2. Bill, Gene, Kirk of the north and a couple of others are the real experts. By the way, if anybody is interested in a really high level scripting language that allows you to do a lot of really cool stuff try either http://www.rebol.com or http://www.rebol.org. The Windows version is definitely accessible, but I haven't tried the Linux version yet. Compared to perl this stuff is really simple! 73s Jim WB0TFK
