If the variable "Workspace" exists, then the user is at the console. It's worked for me but I always use the csh. If anyone knows of a problem, I would like to know, too. I have a C routine I'd post but it's at home. So if interested in seeing the routine, send me mail. - Tim - -- Tim Pugh College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University tpugh@oce.orst.edu NeXTmail ok!
