Why is it doing this? I can get around it by setting the EDITOR environment variable, but I didn't see anything about this in the doco, and wonder what is going on. BTW, I don't keep up with this list, so please include me in your reply. Thanks in advance. -- John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services E-mail: john@starfire.MN.ORG USnail: PO Box 17247, Mpls MN 55417
