ISTR there's a profile option that defines BROWSE as a synonym for VIEW. But you'd see a visible difference. For zFS files there's OEDIT and, recently, OVIEW, but no OBROWSE. The obvious reason for lack of OBROWSE is developer indolence. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
