Hi Keith, You can do this by creating your own port protocol handler for pnm or audiobook in the same way as ftp and http are handled. This is done by creating a port handler object and adding it to the system/schemes block. Try doing a "probe system/schemes/finger" to see an example port handler object. There are probably other examples around as well. - jim At 11:20 PM 12/7/99 -0500, you wrote: >normally is?

This is a silly example, but you get the idea.
