Roy: Welcome to the world of Unix (or almost unix). I have been using one of the shells now for over a year and almost can't operate the Amy without the shell in place. Don't know if you have caught some of the discussions in the recent past but the shell (ver 207) does not work with the initial CLI. Thus those of us that are using an A-2000 invoke a new CLI with a "from s:start" or something similar and kill the initial CLI via the usual endcli > nil: I was unaware of the problem with the new machine since I have also be starting the shell from a second CLI on my A-1000 for other reasons. It seems that the total time for boot up (including starting the shell with its .login file) is considerably faster using the 2 nd cli and I did not even try the initial CLI on my A-2000. Don't forget to change your AmigaDOS path to the HD before you initate the shell and set up the _path variable in your login file (it default to include df0 and df1). Later as I am still on a very busy schedule, 73, bill
