[...] I just thought I'd mention that there is a better (I think) way of doing this. Having done arbitrary file fiddling with TxED before, I stumbled one day across filezap, on fish disk 10. Much nicer. No source, unfortunately. It's a full screen file zapper. No documentation, either, but it's actually helpful as you go along. I'm a little scared to try a file zapper without a backup, so I copied the file first, but it went ok. Oh, I used it to make EXECUTE temporary files go to ram rather than disk. For the little that I use CLI scripts at all, it has worked so far. Wonder if I should post it. It makes EXECUTE a little faster, but it's still no competition for a real command language. Michael
