Thanks. That's the solution exactly. I had looked around for something like that but I didn't find it. After I saw your two posts I looked a little harder. <g> I've got the session now configured as UNIX (standard) and it seems to work perfectly. I need to figure out how to clone it to one configured as (as they call it) "IBM MVS." Should we tell them that the name changed about twenty years ago, or should that just be our little secret?

It would be nice if they made auto-detect a bit smarter. Firefox has the same issue. I have one profile for when I transfer datasets (auto-detect0, another profile for HFS/OMVS (UNIX).
