Bjorn, you old coot, you've got me beat. I do remember the UFI prompt though... User Friendly Interface... and the "real geeks" would program their own SQL*Plus environment using HLI (now OCI) with the OROL option which would allow the rollback of a single statement rather than a whole transaction. Now, in my day, we had fire but we had to make our own coal and we kept warm on the hides of old terminals that used to roam the plains. What were things like in your day?

Yep - we are some old bitter men around here... /Bjørn.
