I am answering Patrick's question posed about the integrity of the URL I had posted regarding a reference to a time variable. The post was made almost two years ago by Wirt Atmar and after tracking down the URL in the HP3000-L archives I will post it again. I believe Wirt's observation should be incorporated into a new system variable. The URL is: http://raven.utc.edu/SCRIPTS/WA.EXE?A2=ind9701B&L=hp3000-l&D=0&H=&T=&O=&F=&P =24420 All that was needed was the ">" character removed if the URL wraps around Thank You.....Eric Sand [log in to unmask]
