the command "type" mean two totally different things in DOS and Unix. In DOS, "type" displays the file's contents. In Unix "type" tells you what kind of command something is. To display a file's contents use "cat" instead. DOS's "type <filename> | more" is the same as Unix's "cat <filename> | less" Yuri -- ** WARNING to mailing list repliers ** Gmail over-rides "Reply-To:" field.
