If you are not using bash, then I advise you to try it. If you don't want a unix type shell then you will have to try another alternative to the M$ shells. If you are using bash, then I don't know what your alternatives are. It might be a limitiation in the executables that are being invoked ? Brendan Simon. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
