AT> and reinstall. :-((

Oups ! sorry... i didn't write exactly the same code as Ken
when i tried on my machine... look closely the shell parameters :-).
just picked it up from an old script...
this could be explained why it doesn't work on your machine ?

and i didn't try Ken's new solution, but i'm pretty sure it works.

all the best
thierry
