Don It did the same thing as before. My system includes The Amiga 1000, 512k, 2 drives, Sony 1201 monitor, US Robotics 1200 modem. addbuffers df0: 70 addbuffers df1: 50 setfont commodore echo -2ttt "Aterm 7.2 Disk" echo "" echo "Last Date Entered Was :" date echo "" echo "" echo "Please Enter New Date As DD-MMM-YY If Above Is Not Correct Date" echo "" echo "" failat 21 date > nil: ? if fail echo "Try Again" echo "" date > nil: ? endif echo "" echo "" echo "Date Now Set At :" date ;date to sys:s/last-startup-date echo "" echo "" info loadwb echo "" echo " Loading Aterm 7.2" run Aterm7.2 That is the startup. I have the date to sys command set as a remark because it won't work. I sure hope this is of some help. I sure miss having the last date on the system. Thank you And Have A Good Day…….. Ken Lazzaro

Ken, Change that line to read : date > now It _should_ work. Don

Ken, I just tried that command (though not in a startup sequence) and it seemd I seem to recall you saying that it worked with another name? Have you tried to another disk or to RAM: as a test? On a side note, I see you are using my echo program. You might be interested to know that you can suppress linefeeds with a "-s" switch, and get the date right after the "Last startup was:" message, and that you don't need quotes for most strings. Regards, Larry.
