Marlene's response to you is correct, and gives you the typical BROwse output, including Dispozition! prompt so you can specify further actions. In some cases, however, one might only need to look at the file description or keywords. Or perhaps you want to capture the listings for several files fitting a wildcard (*.CO, for example) without having to hit <RETURN> each time. In these cases, you can use the similar DIR <FILENAME> /DES. This provides the SAME output as BRO <FILENAME>, but does not pause for input after each directory entry, and returns you to the library prompt when finished. Rick
