I don't know whether I understand the question or not, but can you load two files in two different windows of a text editor (I'd use joe); highlight the text to be transferred in window 1; jump to window 2 and search for the pattern(s) to be replaced and patch-in the highlighted text; save the file in window 2; enter the next file in window 2 & repeat as required. I don't know enough about scripts to know whether this can be automated, but it probably can be. Hope this helps. Charlie {;-)) ...

You mean you've actually tried what I suggested ? :-) Other people have already mentioned 'screen', but I have no idea what it is r where to get it. If it's something that will work under Solaris x86 and I can build myself, I would definitely be interested in trying it out. BTW I finally managed to get Midnight Commander working last week. You originally mentioned it over six months ago and I've been trying to build it since. Now that I have, I would have to recommend it to everyone as an essential file management program, especially for those people who don't like using GUI's. Thanks, for bringing it to my attention. MJ> It gives multiple screens that you can switch between (even on dumb MJ> terminals). You can cut and paste. So would all these finctions be available through a terminal emulator such as Kermit?

It certainly sounds useful, but having finally worked out how to run XWindows on my OS/2 Desktop, I now have the ultimate working environment.... I can run OS/2 (both text and PM), Windows, and DOS apps locally, as well as having several telnet and/or terminal Unix sessions, and a few XWindows session active all at the same time. What I need now is a bigger terminal to stop some of the clutter :-).

How comparable is a Pentium to a RISC 6000 as far as power. I've got an IBM RISC/6000 running AIX and a Pentium 133 running SCO Openserver 5.0. Will the P133 give me the same kind of performance of the RISC? What if I go to a multiple processor CPU? 2. Could a person run SCO Openserver 5.0 on the IBM?
