Thanks Jack, I'll bet you " a dollar to a doughnut" I must have had some unseen corruption in the cut and pasted text I used which came right out of Firebrick original message here on the list..and he had trouble too....well I am glad the mystery is solved....
And as a precaution I am no longer going to paste into the hosts file whether it be within DXBase or in my favorite text editor (EmEditor) Bye for now ...... Charles Johnston AB7SL - Ham Radio Pages www.ab7sl.com
