The ACQUIRE command allocates more space for you to use, but it doesn't allocate it in your root directory. The allocated space is on a different disk and is pointed to by the logical TEMP. Therefore, you can use the command: $ CD TEMP to get to that other space. If you do a SHOW QUOTA after you issue this command, you'll see the amount of space you have. Actually, you can issue a SHOW QUOTA/DISK=TEMP command to see how much temporary space you have at any time. Realize that this space only lasts for 24 hours. You can use the command: $ CD to get back to your login directory. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
