Well I did check this at the $ prompt ...... no TEMP variable set for mark so I
tried

'set  TEMP=/VAR/tamp' and made sure this directory was writable although when I
check the environmental variables with 'set' it looks like this.

I wish I could figure this out I'm sick of cutting and pasting email to kmail
and adding all the little arrows :-).

Oddly when I use kmail I get another message

file I/O error 
This is a directory not a file
/home/mark

Strange that ... any conection ?  Strewth I've been using Linux for a year I
think I'm doomed to be a newbi for ever!

Looks to be plenty of room.
