What I actually needed to do was demonstrate to colleagues why we would be better off scripting in Perl rather than DCL. So the aim was to convert one of our DCL command procedures into Perl and show how very much simpler it becomes. As it happened, the command procedure chosen for the task sets the user's default to a new directory permanently, so I had to be able to do just that! Sandy Fleming http://scotstext.org/
