That is certainly an option. But our philosophy has always been to make it as simple as possible. If I change the icon to point to the proper profile every time I perform OS maintenance, then all the operators ever have to do is drag and drop icons. They don't have to know which is the active res and which IPL parm we're using this time, etc. And there's always that religious war about who is supposed to do what. If I try to change this, there will be resistance. It's another one of those "pick your battles" situtations. This one isn't worth the effort. I was just hoping I could make the two procedures look similar to the operators. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
