Not VA$ED! You're using the wrong VA. You want VA$DR (if that points to the directory with Editor.EXE) or VANL (which probably points there, unless you've change the setting, which is unlikely). So, what you want is: DOCS=<SX99,<VA$DR>+"DOCS"> or DOCS=<SX99,<VANL>+"DOCS"> but *NOT* DOCS=<SX99,<VA$ED>+"DOCS"> -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
