Its an ECL verb isn't it Wendy? >Is there some history here I'm not aware of, maybe it was unreliable? I don't think so. I think it is just a Prime thing that non-primates tend to distrust. The PICK TCL syntax for the same action requires a DATA statement if you want to execute it from BASIC so you wouldn't normally do it: DATA X.NEW.ID EXECUTE "COPY filename ":X.ID What happens if you get filename wrong? or something else happens, the new key you've just put on the DATA stack might be taken to mean something else. It simply isn't a good programatic solution. Cheers, Ken ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
