Germany Hello, three days ago I posted a followup to this group - no, it was no late april fool. We have a (not the only) bug in our vms-news-system which will evaluate every string between double-quotes while posting it to the forward machine. On the local machine it looks ok. *** Please substitute every back-quote by a double-quote. *** --------- once again ---------- > $ module = `2` + `2` > $ library/extract='module' fortune.tlb is the same as $ library/extract=`22` fortune.tlb But back to your problem: Just try $ library/extract ``2` + `2`` fortune.tlb Hope this helps. Cheers, Elmar
