I had to go in with a sector editor and remove the entry from the directory block. Sigh. Where's fsck when I need it? DiskX guru's my system (A2000, rev 4.3, GVP II Scsi + 4Mb) whenever I try to search for an ascii string. Does this happen to anyone else? -- J.

ExNext could find it, but Delete and Open could not.
