What I'm saying is, I do not expect a script to be prepared. I am the one reading UPDATING and modifying the script if there is a change. Manually. Whether I write the sequence in the command line or into a script that I execute doesn't make no difference! What do you mean, mailing list in the loop? I need to write another mail for this thread now, but I should reply to the proper mail so I don't confuse you guys up. Hartelijk dank, Stijn! Vaaf
