Hi again, Ron, First, try to bottom post. People on this list will snap at 'ya if your don't! Yes, that helps, it tells us what OS you're writing for, and also how you connect to that OS (DOS telnet). Now, where do you develop your scripts? Do you write your scripts on the Win2000 machine and then copy/ftp them over to the UNIX box to test/implement? The more details you give us the better able we'll be to help! --Errin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
