It has been over a decade since I have done anything on HP3000. However, if I recall correctly, this can happen if a "critical" process is waiting for IO and for some reason the IO request can not be satisfied. And, I think there is a command ABORTIO to cancel the IO request. I do not recall the syntax but assume that it would be ABORTIO pin. -- Manny Bhuta Randolph, NJ USA "Sorenson, Bob" <[log in to unmask]> wrote in message news:9u3rbm01cb@enews3.newsguy.com... > Stan, > > Thank you very much for your response.
