The one thing you forgot is that you have to give "world" read permission to the file. The following commands will do this for you: $ SET FILE PLAN.TXT/PROT=(W:R) $ SET FILE [-]ACFARLER.DIR/PROT=(W:E) Realize, though, that this second command gives the world access to your login directory. You may want to be very careful about the way you set this up. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
