Chuck, I had a little more time today to use 4.06, this weekend will be the real test. However, I was trying to use the BACKWARD feature and it would not work. I'm not sure where the SHELL commands are to be typed, so I tried using the ARexx feature. Your notes said to double click on FLYERPROC.REXX, which I did. The script ran all the way, up to where I was asked to enter the operation. I deleted the X2 that was in the requester and typed a minus sign -. The Workbench screen appeared for a split second and then another menu appeared saying "done" or some words to that effect. When I checked the Flyer drive to see if anything was there, nothing was. I then tried leaving the X2 command in the requester to see if that would work. Again the Workbench screen flashed and I got a menu telling me things were completed. This time there was a BLACK icon on the drive menu. I placed it in the project area and opened it up. It was totally black, and ran about 4 or 6 frames. The length of the scene that I was working with was 9 seconds 8 frames. The original scene is on my A drive and I always listed my B drive as the target drive. Am I doing something wrong? Fred
