Why don't you just make it a link. I did along time ago. There are several files that would be better of being links that I have made into links without problems. Just use your preferred method of creating a link, either AEGIS or UNIX. Mike Markley Apollo Systems Support UCSD Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering I always speak for myself. No one listens that way. No, I think this is still wrong because it works only in an environment where an Apollo is a personal workstation assigned to one person. In an envoronment where many people share the worstations, each person may want their own color scheme, and the original dictation of the sole color map is revisited. The lcm command allows a color map at any location to be loaded. I have a directory of color maps I've collected from various people, load my favorite from my user_data startup file, and change it according to the amount of light in the room.
