This is not braindead, this is by design. The WinAPI call to open a file can request certain exclusive rights to the file, and will fail if they are not met. Wordpad probably just want exclusive read and write rights, which the system won't give it. Notepad works fine, and so does `more`. -cm _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
