Ward, I thought Allan was not talking about opening drives simultaneously, but which command would open which drive if you had more than one. Shouldn't there be a command for each drive? I would hardly ever need to open the front and back doors together at the same time, and unless I had the identical locks , I would need two keys, would I not?----- For the sake of being a total nut, I simply , tongue in cheek, had to add to the confusion.
