Ha! Now you tell me! :-) Well, I'm sure it would have been useful info if 
I'd read it before solving my problem another way. But, I've captured your 
msg to file in my log 'cuz it gives me something even better than a fix -- a 
path to true understanding. I sure have a LOT to learn about how Xenix/Unix 
works! Thaks much :-)
