Unix command lines usually use ! to indicate that you want to substitute one of the most recent commands -- type a \! instead of a ! and you won't get an 'event not found' anymore. For example: more \!ReadMe more \!Index In both cases, the \ indicates that the immediately following ! is a real ! and not something special (which is what it normally is, and that was why you are having problems).

Well, first of all, you shouldn't axe people... it puts them in a bad mood :-) Anyways, if you're using a Unix system, put a backslash (\) in front of the ! so the shell won't think you're trying to use a history substitution. -- David Huang | "Calzoni Pizza: Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | Delivery in six UUCP: ..!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | hours, or else your America Online: DrWho29 | pizza is cold."

I think the unix I'm on has problems with the >! in filenames, but I really don't know. UNIX itself has no problem with any character (other than /) in pathname components. My guess is that you're using the C-shell instead of a real shell. In your shoes I would type the command "sh" to get a real shell then try reading the files (using "cat", "more", text editor, or whatever).
