Let's try my favorite MPE editor: Qedit/iX. Copyright Robelle Consulting Ltd. 1977-1994. Type ? for help. (Version 4.3) Licensee: Unison Software, Inc. [25U] Today's Hint. HOld command: writes lines to the HOLD file (use HOLDJ to append). /t ../CVSRC/t2 Scratch file 'Language' is now DATA Et cetera. VIsual mode works. Files keep as byte-stream and work correctly under the shell's vi. Works great, lasts long! </plug> cv -- Craig Vespe [log in to unmask] Unison Software 811 Barton Springs, Austin Tx.78704 512-478-0611 http://www.unison.com NASDAQ UNSN disclaimer quote ANSI graphics
