I specifically mentioned LIST<space>PEQS and LISTPEQS. No mistake. There is a file called PEQS that contains info about each hold file. If you type LIST<space>PEQS you get some status info. If you EDIT PEQS x (x being your hold file number) you may/will see the contents. I'd like to get the status stuff.
I know this file is on D3 and I'll yield if it isn't elsewhere.
