man my memory is going. John we did a bunch of work tweaking newdos to get it to run across wide area network delays. I have an entire project here that I completely forgot about! Anyways where we left it was version 6 of newdos 5.02. It seems to work much much better. did find one problem, that "listing" a document seems to not tolerate delays. Steve
