If you could just do one at a time by a UNIX com- mand that'd be great, a shell script would do the rest. I tried piping input to the /usr/bin/md_write program used by the user agent for MS-DOS write function but it uses the window driver which sucked up my input (which had embedded control characters for the necessary RETURNs and ENTERs) and displayed it haphazardly in the first confirm window and waited there hopelessly. -- Ed Rapoport /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Real Time Development 2409 s. 9th st.
