Maybe I went overboard. But, my point has been since I was first introduced to UNIX in 1976, that a lot of UNIX is not intuitive. cat -- list grep -- get regular expression and print ls -- directory list vi -- edit And, we really should compare interactive to interactive. JCL was a bad choice on my part. BTW, a better practice would be/is to make the programme/command dynamically allocate files, which is what I do in REXX with varying amounts of control for the user. - -teD O-KAY! BLUE! JAYS!
