I think that you need to realize that what you are trying to do is not the sort of thing that you should be doing, and try to get with the program . I can't pick my teeth with my toes, but it does not make me upset, nor does it give me any great desire to do so. The NeXT is not a generic Unix machine, and every new release of the System software takes it farther away from being like a generic workstation. If you REALLY want to be involved with NeXT machines, It would be in your best interest to learn the way things are intended to be done. And for pete's sake! don't give any of the NeXT employees who take THEIR OWN TIME to respond to postings in this group a bad time. Their apperance here is not condoned ny NeXT, Inc. and they do it out of the kindness of thier heart. -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bruce Henderson Software Engineer zygot!bruceh@Apple.COM "Sorry, Mathematica can't goon this much" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
