Have now stopped utilsos2 from announcing and this appears to be the culprit.

A COM- port handle under OS/2 is the same as a file handle e.g. an integer number obtained by opening the file "COM2". In order for cexyz2 to work you must supply it with a "hot" (e.g. opened) handle. Normally you get this from your mailer or from your bbs. Maximus supplies it if you simply put %P (uppercase) onto the commandline of a program called by xtern_run: xtern_run cexyz2 /p%P ... MfG :-) Thomas Antworten bitte an 2:2454/117.1.
