However, I also don't think that /dev/something is used in a similar way to Unix systems; not even LISTFILE /3000devs/DEVICES/@,2 would help. Maybe something in the line of... :showdev > myfile :/bin/grep UNAVAIL < myfile Regards, Lars. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
