Fred: Try this instead: EDIT * FROM &varname Note the ampersand variable vs. the dotted variable.

But when I try to EDIT * FROM .varname I get -ERROR- Syntax is incorrect for the command EDIT (2045) If I do LIST .varname, that works and validates the variable. Tried quotes, parentheses, nothin' works. Probably something stupid but I don't get it. Fred Fred C.
