I have experienced this ACCVIO problem in the past on two or three occasions. However, it was never reproduceable, and did not affect my mail messages, and occured so rarely that I did not worry about it. It usually happened when system response was slow, and when I was using command line recall inside MAIL. (VMS version 4.5) (BTW, I am unable to replicate the described problem with new folders.) However, try this: 1) Go into EDT line mode 2) Do a HELP DEF KEY * Somewhat simple (investigation shows that it is caused by a blank line in the EDT help file), but spectacular. Ian.
