I'm having problems <as per my usual> in understanding the directions for setting up WHAP. I'm trying to install the program in a directory that I created on my Hard Drive <DH0:>. I named the Directory "Whap" <no quotes> and put the files: Whap! and View! into it. I moved the font files into my Fonts Directory and did an assignment? <assign Whap: dh0:> on the boot disk. When I try to start the program from CLI, I get a message that says "unknown command Whap!". I know I'm doing somethig stupid but don't know what. Thanks for both your patience and HELP! +BR+

The assign should have read: ASSIGN WHAP: dh0:WHAP whap uses the WHAP: logical volume forit's files. They will be in dh0:whap if your message was correct. Don't feel bad. I've wasted five hours getting whap to run and all it can do is log on and off! Any messages it gets becomes garbage. -Greg

Bill Assign Whap: Dh0:Whap then cd to that directory. I have it set up that way on my hard disk and it works find. I have already run it thur two of Amiga forums and have no troubles with reading messages or replying to them or your message. Make sure that before you go online with this program that you change your Compuserve PROFILES to TopPage MAIN, Brief Prompts YES, and EasyPlex NOTIFY ONLY. Hayward

Thanks for the advise. I'm up and running NOW! What's the line about a BLIND HOG and an acorn? Thanks again. +BR+
