According to my Compaq 3.2 manual, they assign command is only available for a "specific drive" to a "different drive". The Mode command can reassign, but only the printer ports!! Looks like they decided that we don't need that feature anymore... -- my signature file just got squashed...................... email: cb@cci632 or !rochester!kodak!n2hkd!curtis Curtis Braun, Computronics, PO Box 1002 Fairport NY, 14450
