Help? Most of the MPW commands have options that allow you to tell them to ignore error's. And since shell scripts use the MPW primatives, you can have your shell script use commands with the the "ignore" error's option set. There probably are other ways but that's the way I do it in my shell scripts. -- David M. O'Rourke Disclaimer: I don't represent the school. All opinions are mine!
