Hi Gil, I'll address the sticky 'confirm on delete' issue first, since it has been addressed by others already. I can't say that I know how to make it stick, but I happen to agree with you that if _I_ decide I want _my_ 'confirm on delete' setting to stick, then there ought to be an option to make it persist. Others can go ahead and cringe thinking about it if that makes them feel better, I suppose. As for the additional qualifiers, I have noticed a couple things about that. One is that the setting *does* stick. The second is that it only seems to stick in "new" started screens. What I mean is that, when ISPF starts up, the first screen will not respect that setting when I use the DSLIST command. This is also true of any other screens that I may start via a command in my logon CLIST. Any other screens that are started after that *will* respect that setting. I don't know if this is due to how the LOGON proc and scripts are put together, or anything else. I have taken to starting only one screen, though. I run ESP in that first screen, and set PF13 to start 2 or 3 other screens and name them for me. Kind of a kludge, but it was quick, easy, and worth it since I use DSLIST and personal dataset lists *a*lot*. I've never changed my 'confirm on delete' setting. You might want to just check to see if the same feature/bug is affecting that setting too.
