Sorry to flood with many posts. I just saw Geoff's post and would add that Linux has an additional feature called alias. It allows you to create your own command with perhaps some switches built in. You could forinstance make lsl give a file list in long format. (And dir is commonly found in most linux distributions now.) ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
