The manual says that switches are introduced with the '-' character. This is only true if you have your switchar set to '-'. The default switchar is '/', so ... If you don't understand this whole discussion, use '/' instead of '-'. p.s. The switchar IS documented. I will send a photocopy of the manual page to anyone who sends me a SASE. -- -russ AT&T: (315)268-6591 BITNET: NELSON@CLUTX Internet: nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu GEnie: BH01 Compu$erve: 70441,205
