Brian, Do you know anything about why now I can't edit COM files like they are text files, it seems like you deleted all of the old versions of systartup_v5.com that I was saving. can you please advise how to return the EDIT command to show a text editor style, rather than a VI type edit style? Bill

I did not touch SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. Why would you NOT be able to edit a .COM file? It's just text. The editors on VMS are not brain-damaged to decide what's in a file based upon file extension like on other OS.
