Phil,

Isn't it a small world!  I STILL develop on the AS/400, but of course 
you now know it's called iSeries.

This particular program is a part of a larger project project to join 
Euphori with the iSeries through the Client Access APIs.  I've got an 
application explorer that runs .exes off the IFS.  May not go anywhere 
but it's been an educational experience!

I'll try moving things around and see what that does!
