What you need to do is: >$ DEFINE/SYS/EXE HELP "MANAGER" Be careful with this, it burned me once. System manager had a logical name defined to send SYSTEM to her regular account. I run the linker to link a program that has a module of nonportable stuff called system. I get error message from linker can't find module "managersname". Not fun and can occur anywhere logicals names would get translated. -- Dana Carson uunet!umbc3!tron!carson
