Can you go into posix and rm the file? ------------------------------------------------------------- Gary L.

The name was NDXR'S as you can see they used an apostrophe in the name. The program allowed the file to be created and it will access this file and run the XEQ program. The problem is I can not access it from the operating system. I can not use LISTF, PURGE or any other commands to get to the file. Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this. At this point my choice is to leave the file in the group it is in and be done with it. I don't think this will hurt anything since this is a group used just by several user to store their XEQ files. If anyone has any suggestions I would like to here them. Thanks - Jim Kilgo
