Chuck, There is nothing about file handles that inherently makes a program nonreentrant. There could be problems if, for example, a program tries to open a specific filename in exclusive mode while another incarnation of the same program has that file already open. Sorry, but I don't write C well, and haven't written anything that would be run from the WB. I described the different types of program in non language specific terms for exactly that reason. -larry
