You can stick the setting you want in ~/.slrnrc and that will override the global file. But if you want to find the global file, here's a general procedure for finding files in packages: pkg_info -Ia | grep -i slrn pkg_info -L The first will spit out in the first column what the real name of the package is. Then replace with that and run the second command. That will list all the files in the package. This should tell you where the system-wide slrnrc was put. Randall Hopper
