$ DELETE/ENTRY=1 MULTINET_SMTP $ DELETE/ENTRY=2 MULTINET_SMTP $ DELETE/ENTRY=3 MULTINET_SMTP $ DELETE/ENTRY=4 MULTINET_SMTP $ DELETE/ENTRY=# MULTINET_SMTP

800+ times?

I'm pretty sure that the lexical F$getqui() existed in V5.2 but then, I not been very good at recalling all that history; especially, with versions that are 25+ years old. Try: $ QUEUE = 'F$getqui("DISPLAY_QUEUE","QUEUE_NAME","MULTINET_SMTP") $ 100$: ENTRY = 'F$getqui("DISPLAY_ENTRY","ENTRY_NUMBER") $ IF "''F$type(ENTRY)'".NES."STRING" $ THEN $ DELETE/ENTRY='ENTRY' $ GOTO 100$ $ ENDIF
