I read about the "hidden" attribute someplace too (AmigaWorld's series on 1.3 maybe ?), but the 1.3 Protect command doesn't support it. I also checked in my newly received 1.3 includes (thanks, Lauren!), and it's not defined in them either ... only the other seven: sparwed (gee, that's even pronouncable ... sparwed). Maybe that's the reason "hidden" isn't defined ... can't really pronounce "hsparwed" ... :-) BTW, the "1.3 Native Developer Update" is available from CATS. 4 disks (Autodocs, ReadMe's, Includes, and stripped Includes). $20 (no plastic). /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,uunet,oliveb,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
