Much thanks, Joe. I re-read the material per your suggestion...no luck. As
for the conflicts you mentioned, I couldn't find anything obvious, though
I suspect I lack the resources/knowledge to do a thorough check.
FYI, I run MSKermit under the WordPerfect Shell 4.0 task swapper.
Anyway, I added a "set port 2" to the script just after the place where the
error message appears... and this seems to solve the problem completely.
Larry.
