That would actually be a somewhat cool feature, but DELETE is not as cool, so nothing will happen. Try it :) WDEL is a little bit more dangerous, but it still asks nicely and like DELETE it will also fail on directories. Thing is this: FTEST = OPEN:CLOSE. OPEN can be used without a parameter, in which case DATAD$ will be used. The same is therefore true for FTEST. It's actually been this way since the release of TK2 which has been how long ago, 30 years or so? All the best, Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
