When I tried "dir beos[ALT + NUM 255]ins.*" DOS still failed to list it. When I tried "del beos[ALT + NUM 255]ins.*" DOS failed to delete it. When I did "dir beos????.*", then DOS found it. (I believe I had tried that before and it didn't work the first time.) The second time I was able to delete it by "del beos????.*" So it is still a great mystery to me. BTW, can you delete it and then undelete it? I can't. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
