Rick, You are correct! This command set remains one of my all time favorites. I just wonder who was the engineer who developed that command. We had a drum storage device on our 2000 and it spun a bearing one day and made a very loud squealing sound that scared the bejesus out of us. Before it died, I did have the opportunity to sanctify and desicrate several files. If you have any other 2000 tidbits like this one, please post them. Thanks! Mike
