The above would appear to indicate not. > >Jai. From MSC 4.0 Docs: " When a program begins execution, five file handles, corresponding to the standard input, standard output, standard error, standard auxiliary, and standard print, are already assigned." ... " They are automatically opened when the program begins, as shown from the output from the following short program..." They are opened. Procomm does have several files open simultaneously, and the DOS default of 8 is not enough to cover Procomm's needs as well as those of your program. ---- Dan Crimmins University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Computing Services Office - Micro Consulting Dept.
