Ferry, Thank you. This worked perfectly. As I said, I only use the system sporadically, so being able to keep the same passwords helps. And Bob, I appreciate the help as well, I'm keeping a link to the system manager's manual.

I agree with all your points but need to remind you that something drastically changed in this market after Ken Olsen got the push. People at the top (Jobs, Gates, Ellison, etc.) are behind many of these Public-relations get togethers. With all due respect to current HP management, although they are doing a great job in restoring financial health of this computer company, they have no passiion for computer technology (at least not like Ken Olsen - and the people he surrounded himself with).

I don't believe DECUS attendance approached the current numbers of Macworld ( ~40K). At best, ~10K and that's a guess.

In those days the target audience was much smaller as everyone wasn't a computer professional. :-) I do remember giving a presentation at a Sytek Users Group Conference once where my audience numbered in the thousands (or so I was told by friends who were in the crowd!) I couldn't really tell as I could not see the audience from the stage because of the footlights. At the time I found that a relief as I had never spoken in front of so large a group and I was quite nervous. We did get good trade press covrerage in those days, however. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n. Three wolves bill@cs.scranton.edu | and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
