Two of these are LOGIN and LOGOUT. I would now like to improve on my LOGOUT command to flag any attempt to (LOGOUT T) with unsaved changes. IL:FILES? does this, but returns no values and I would like to avoid calling IL:FILE? if unnecessary. However, I have been unable to find any programmatic method of inquiring of the file package if there are any unsaved changes (either functions/variables/etc. to be assigned OR files with changes yet to be written). Can anybody help? Hal Brand brand%kegger@circus.llnl.gov
