It's very frustrating to get this message, but not know where it is. The file that is giving me the error is an alias file. When I type "source .aliases" it gives me the message: Unmatched " and then refuses to run anything in the file. Thanks for any help or info you can give! Oh, and if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm sorry - could you redirect me to a more appropriate group? Go easy on me - just a beginner! :) Dan LeGate dlegate@s1.csuhayward.edu PRODIGY: FCSJ69A
