Hi, It looks like your logon udc is setting some variables and it just happens that they starts with "HP". I suggest , check you logon udcs and verify who is setting the variable in question. If you can :deletevar hpyouvar then it must be a user set variable. HP variable are not deleteable as far as I know.

I still need information about some of the more less obvious ones. ==================== Leonard S.
