Yes, and that's fine, but as I said, I'm using windows. I do know a bit of Unix/Linux, but I'm not working under that at the moment. I plan to later.

[Quoted] I couldn't find that either under windows. I issued the 'show parameters;' command which gave me lots of stuff, but nothing of any help from what you've offered.

[Quoted] Thanks anyway for your input.
