Leslie: Sorry it took so long to get back to you on the "*N" in script text. There are a series of "escape" codes that you can put in text which you want to "echo" to the cli or shell during the running of a script. Those sequences create bold, ital, reverse, colored etc. text. But, for the life of me, I can't remember where the escape codes are documented! s ?|^] Ray Lewis

Thanks for the reply, Ray. I have seen the *N in startup-sequences before but never knew the reason for it. I thought Amiga esc codes were more complex.

Leslie, That's not an "Amiga" escape code. It's straight out of the BCPL language. Victor A. Wagner, Jr.

Thanks, Vic. So that's why it didn't look familiar. I would guess that escape code imbedded in the Startup-Sequences will have to be rewritten for 2.0 since the "c" commands aren't written in BCPL. (Or am I all screwed up?)
