Thanks - that works great.  Not sure why the following code doesn't
work but life is too short sometimes! -

        int i='x' * 256;

/* set AEOR to 'x' */
    FCONTROL( _mpe_fileno( fileno ( stdin )), 25, &i);

Yes it is block mode reading that I'm trying to do.  I've got it
working on UNIX with QCTerm - just getting it working on MPE now.

Thanks for the tip on para2 - I finally found it (took a while even
when I know it was there).  It's just at the end of the 192 section
after describing parm1=64 (I didn't get that far as I was using
parm1=40).

Cheers

Peter
