Allan, AV will not reassign EXECUTE pathnames, especially since it doesn't write them to disk when doing a CREATE APPLICATION. The best solution is to have all the EXECUTE programs in one drawer and ASSIGN to it. All references within AV should use the ASSIGN. (If I put all the programs in STUFF:, I would type things like "c:run STUFF:ScreenSave" in the EXECUTE icon.) I'm not really clear on your problem with the manual. If you mean that you're having problems using CLI commands, be aware that you must type explicit pathnames; no paths or assigns work from within AV. Note that the last sentence is wrong, and should read as follows: If you had a file called "Text.ex," you could delete it by typing "c:delete work:amigavision/text.ex" in the file name field. Note the c:delete as apposed to delete. Further, be warned that under 2.0, there are a number of important c: commands no longer in c–they're resident from the start. If you want to use RUN in AV under 2.0, copy RUN from a 1.3 Workbench disk to your 2.0 c: or bin: directory. jk3
