If so, it doesn't know very much, because it won't save a file that I've modified if I don't own it, even if I have BYPASS (or even ALL privs!). Is there something I've set up wrong? I recall that one of the files in the GNU Emacs distribution mentions something about using the rights database (SYSUAF?). If you don't have the rights to modify something, you can't, even with all privileges. -- |=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=| Kingsley Kerce | kkerce%x102c@trantor.harris-atd.com | Harris Corp.
