Thanks for your reply Martin. I have looked at your scripts and I might be able to use then in the future. My main problem is that my collection is so large, e.g 3104 files just in the directory beginning with "D" and that take about 4+ hours to run. So I could do with operating on 3 directories overnight. I must be able to add commands to be operated on in sequence. Any ideas? Paul -- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux
