Ok, So I did as you suggested and it did pull up my new header when "S" executed from main menu. It would not pull up any of "new" bulletins placed in that directory however.  I knew their numbers so if I put "3" at prompt it did pull up my test bulletin, however without the the new header?  I may be mis-understanding how this bulletin system works, is the program meant to insert that header into any bulletins? Or as user am I meant to create bulletins with that header already in place?  Then I have to figure out when its run from the main menu why it is not seeing "new" bulletins.. I tried two naming schemes it did not see either I tried bullet3.asc and bulletin3.asc.

You are right this is not very intuitive piece of mystic...

Thanks for you help!
