The doc is wrong. It was a bogus copy-n-paste of the [rather vague] information on HOSTS LOCAL, which you *do* copy to 198, customize, MAKESITE, then copy the resulting *INFO files to the 592. (sigh) Thanks for finding this. All name resolution is done in the *user's* virtual machine, not in the stack. So the user must have access to the file. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
