I agree with Ed...simplest to just look at, or even print the man page from the system your working on. If your O/S manuals are handy, you may even luck out with a listing there, perhaps in one of the appendices.<br><br>Andy...I tried to look at the link you provided, for the list of commands, but got nowhere.

I looked so that I could perhaps have a better, more concise, or more detailed copy for my own use.<br><br>Thanks... <p>Tom Whitehead<br><a href=mailto:twhitehead@commeq.com>twhitehead@commeq.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
