Have VoRecOne on my HD in Amiga 2000. Noted and imported files to Lib and Devs. Got thru' Tutorials 1 and 2, OK. On tutorial #3. came to a stop. In running program, it demands that I insert disk ">nil" when it comes to the Showpic word line. Have checked that my input is as written on yout Page T 26. I suspect that I may have missed something in the "startup" file, which I use for my HD. I have quite a complex of "assigns" on there. Can you tell me if there are lines which should be added to my existing startup sequence ? At the moment the program is in limbo, pending the solution to the problem. Best regards, HILARY.

Hilary, please refer tech questions on the VoRecOne directly to Impulse at 800-328-0184. I've been too busy with Imagine to use the VoRec personally. -Rick

Hilary: This is very strange. Unless there is something wrong with your operating system, redirection of output to the NIL: device should work just fine. All it does is throw away the stuff that command would normally write to your screen. Try this: open a cli or shell and type in: echo "hi there" When you hit the return key, you should see the words — hi there — written out to your window. Now, type in: echo >NIL: "hi there" And hit the return key. This time, the words — hi there — will NOT be written to your window, because you redirected them (using the > ) to the NIL: device (which simply means that they went to bit heaven). You shouldn't be having this problem if you really have the redirection going to NIL:. What is the full command you are using? ?|^] Ray Lewis
