Barry, We may be about the same level at CLI, because I had got just as far as you took me (including printing out the manual, which didin't specify how to run it.) After getting into the hyperbase directory, I typed "hyperbase" and received two lines of messages: "Printer Format file not opened" "format file not opened" There are two files in the directory with a .fmt suffix ("records" and "mail") but the manual leads me to believe they relate to the different kinds of data files in hyperbase. In any event I can find no "open" command anywhere in my Amiga DOS manual. I appreciate your response, and if this makes no sense to you don't feel you have to leave another message. I put this up in view of everybody, because maybe somebody will know what to do. If I do get into hyperbase, and use it enough to form an opinion (I'm new to databases too, and am not sure what use I'll make of it,) I will let you know what I think. (Presuming I donb't loose your ID#.) The Fish disk it's on (#58) also has ASDG's recoverable ram disk program, for which I have no use, but I do own their FACCII and it's GREAT.

Hmmm, have you tried Hyberbase records.fmt<return> or some other "thing" that might be on the disk? One other thought, you did TYPE to PRT:-not use Notepad. I found that by using notepad a lot of the text of some of the manuals was not there. How about looking for pulldown menus? Sorry I can`t be of further assistance. Barry
