Cody, Thanks - that's simple, when used w/out the "set" statement. Just testing for now, so changing it each time I log on is O.K. l'll make it more permanent once it all works. Currently down in the weather, so not going to be able to make it to this evenings Ubuntu hour. :-(
I'll try dropping the "set", once I'm feeling a little better. Thanks for your help. Have a great meeting, and happy thanksgiving. Phil.
