ah, thank you so much my friend, you are my hero. I unfortunately have just gotten around to trying to do this. Fortunately, I'm doing it at home now where I have two computers networked through a router so it should make things simpler. I just one have one final question.

You mentioned:

" that is chmod +x /search/path/filename (i have them both on a floppy)."

I did not understand what you meant by this. Other than that I'm set. Thanks a lot.
