As has been pointed out I got '>' and '>>' the wrong way round when I described what I did to get qeth working.
Also, I was indeed working without any networking on a fresh install on the SE (as the HMC wasn't functioning very well yesterday), I just find "echo" easier to remember and use in this environment. I would agree that ex or ed have their place when scripting, with a man page for reference. Cheers, John P Taylor Linux & VM Systems Support Hursley IT Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
