<< Thank you, now I understand. Since I'll have to create a file and then delete it, I have another question. I can ERASE .VFILE, ERASE &VFILE, DELETE .VFILE and DELETE &VFILE at the R> prompt but not in a command file... Is that normal? >>
No, you should be able to remove the file from program code as well, assuming no other process has it open. If you're sending an email with the attachment and immediately trying to erase the file, the email program may still have it open. -- Larry
