Many thanks, Razzak - I had used the search part of the in-line help for
"volume" and it returned only the DIR command. I have checked it again since
getting your reply using "getvolume" and get "no topics found".
Obviously using the full "GetVolumeID" or GETVAL I can see that it is there!
Regards,
Alastair.
