Here is what happens when I do List >(outside of mg): Parentheses are used in some AmigaDOS regular expressions (wildcards). They're used to delimit a list of choices, so the expression "f(a|b|i)b" would match "fab", "fbb", and "fib". I don't know about the real AmigaDOS list command, but the ARP version seems to scan the string for any potential wildcard characters, and change its behavior if it finds any. This could cause the strange results you saw. -Dan Riley (riley@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu, cornell!batcomputer!riley) -Wilson Lab, Cornell University
