We had upgraded to Version 2.2 more than 6 months ago, except the LISP command
remained the same, running V2.1.

I now have people working round the clock to try to fix this problem :-).

Thanks for the replys. I may try to persuade the people who run the machine
to upgrade, but I think that I am the only one in the place using LISP, so
I doubt that they would take much notice of my lone voice.

Thanks again, all who responded.
