Does the word Utilities show up thereby indicating that it is assigned? I think that is your problem you can't use the colon (:) after the word utilities unless utilities is assigned. You should probably change the line to something like alias lharc sys:utilities/archivers/lharc or substitute DH0: or DF0: for sys: if those are apropriate. Hope this helps. Dennis Anderson
