But I can see its benefits for a dedicated oxp system that implements multiple servers, IPv6 vs IPv4, and other particular things. The /x option (quit program) intrigues me. Why would anyone want that in a "startup" autoexec routine? Regarding F1 twice: Cool. But I would never have thought that TAB would walk through the next items. I was using down-arrow and it was skipping some of those! Regards, ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.37 * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58) .
