Just for fun, I was trying the following: RUN SMBC.PUB;INFO="-M host.3k.com -U Guest < MSGFILE" Which works just dandy. (SMBC.PUB is the SAMBA Client program in an MPE group). However, when I try RUN SMBC.PUB;INFO="-M host.3k.com -U Guest < /ACCT/GROUP/MSGFILE" or RUN SMBC.PUB;INFO="-M host.3k.com -U Guest < ./MSGFILE" I get errors on the redirect file. The file exists, is an MPE file (I used the same file in all tests, just referenced different ways) but for some reason I get the redirect error for any variation other than just 'MSGFILE'. (MSGFILE is just a plain text file; not a "msg" file or anything else special) Is this a CI/Posix bug? Do I need to escape something? (I haven't needed to for other similar apps, but this is a posix program being executed and I haven't tried that before from the MPE prompt). Any ideas? The machine I'm playing on is MPE/iX 5.0 (don't recall the patch level). -Chris Bartram
