See section 3.8.2 in the PostScript Language Reference Manual. I used (%os%/Users/Tammy/*) as a template in filenameforall but it only showed files like %os%/Users/tammy/Library/Fonts/xys.TTF so the Mac may be limiting what files are allowed to be "run". I don't have Ghostscript installed there so it's just the Preview app that will convert a ps to a pdf to display it. Jeff
