It would probably make life easier if you put this line in your startup-sequence. FF is just much too picky about what it finds on the command line. >what are the other command line options, and OOPS, thirdly, >what to i do to reset my cli when it gets put into the alternate >charater set when you type an executible without the opt h Again, if you are in the shell, you have to exit the shell to get out of the alternate character set. You can then startup a new shell & everything will be hunky. > >Thanks for the Help.... >I need it > >-------------------------------------------------------------------- >Jonathan P.
