Those nasty unspoken requirements :-) IIRC You were asking how to suppress it, not how prevent it putting the terminal in HOLD (which every msg or wng would do). So I guess you're now doing a very cheap scrolling operator console? Surely Kris must have uploaded a tool that will issue SEND CP to you around 23:59 to issue a TERM HOLD OFF for 2 minutes ;-) :rant. I very much dislike things that mess with my TERM settings for me. Like the the z/VM installation process to set TERM MORE 0 0 (and issue VMFCLEAR frequently) that prevent me from reading the error messages. If I don't have to see it, then don't display it. When I am supposed to read it, give me time for that. VM Systems Programmers also are a shared resource. Sometimes we do get interrupted for high priority work and get back to the original work later. Rob
