The infamous underscore bug of which you speak will jump up and bite you anytime you try to enter an underscore "_" in a GEM application dialog. (i.e., in the file selector dialog, in any of the RCS dialogs, etc.). Having been bitten HARD by this guy once, I promise I'll never make that mistake again. I hear that the next ROM release fixes this beastie, so we won't have IT to kick around much longer. -Rich -- /////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /// Richard E.

This is NOT every resource. Unfortunately, the p field allows only tos filename characters, so it was used by the file selector. **NOTE** I do not have my ST with me, so I cannot try this out to confirm it.
