When I type: lynx http://www.altavista.digital.com lynx comes up and displays altavistas web page just fine When I put: altavista :== lynx http://www.altavista.digital.com in my login.com file and then type: altavista I get: %DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling \LYNX\ I've tried all storts of variations on the line in the login.com file, but I've yet to hit on the right one. What's wrong here? How do I need to format the login line to allow me to define synonyms like this? -- Dave Munday - [log in to unmask] Web Page: http://www.nku.edu/~munday
