Do not use a comma as a special character in file name. For example, you can enter this command: $ vi "/u/smith/new,text"
This indicates to NFS that a file called new is being edited in the attribute text mode, not file new,text. And while the delimiter can be changed, (perhaps entirely disabled, unlike ISPF's delimiter), this is in global options and may adversely affect other users who depent on using ',' as a delimiter. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
