ok now i know it was case sensitive but didn't know
when and that's a big clue. So in pick mode i always
use capitals for verb or keyword stuff and then get
case sensitive for data references like file and key?
i THINK I can DO that! :^)
but why does it sometimes give me syntax error on a
command and sometimes not with a same command after i
do something else like "where" or CR a couple times? I
mean i use the same case sensitivity and it syntax
error once but sometimes not twice. maybe it doesn't
like my backspace key. I use accuterm and vt100. Is
there better termtype or a special setting? Accuterm
supports unidata but there is not a host type for it.
thanku and is there a better place for these
questions? As you see, i am the total uninoob and i
don't want to bother any one with these basic things.
