Worked as advertised, and I ended up with more free memory. What does it du (hehehe)? When I looked at the man page (translation: 'man' is the manual for unix, so typing 'man du' gives the help page), it stated that it displayed disk usage statistics. So... why would it free up memory? Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be February 25. The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>.
