You realize if I do all that I might *learn* something? :-) Thanks. I expect m4 is going to produce a lot of stuff for me to run thru diff in the next few weeks while I learn what its doing. Thanks for all the specific file references. I had visited those files earlier but in the glut of documentation was having a hard time knowing when I found relevent information. In the meantime the DSmail.hiwaay.net macro has gotten me over the hump. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
