Correct David, the ARP commands are a *lot* smaller then the regular AmigaDos commands here are some (long winded) examples in bytes. --------+-ARP--+-AmigaDos Assign | 968 | 2960 Cd | 664 | 1756 Copy | 2244 | 9296 Dir | 2120 | 8500 Info | 992 | 2068 Install | 800 | 2416 List | 2076 | 9696 Search | 1100 | 6332 These are just some of the ARP commands. Also they make use of the * in nearly all the commands like rename. You ever try to transfer all the files in one directory to another? With ARP you can type, Rename Libs/* to LibDir/* or try this one, Rename *.info to *.inf ARP is also backward compatable with regular old AmigaDos so no problema there. ARP commands are written in pure clean ML (I think). Ian_Matthew_Smith@cup.portal.com ----------------------| Insert Fancy Signature Here |----------------------
