I am about to call up a copy of amrecover, and restore that script to one that was working last week, I cannot get by the syntax errors between fi & done in a while loop with a bunch of if-then-elif-fi's in it. Last weeks wasn't perfect, but it did work, and everytime I look something up in a man bash & try to fix it, its worse. The set -x helped, and maybe I can use that to see what the original is doing. So for now, thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
