I don't know if there is an isql-specific way of doing it, but you might try: sh and friends: SHELL=/dev/null isql csh and friends: (setenv SHELL /dev/null ; isql) They can still do "!rm *", but it will have no effect since there is no valid shell to execute it. I don't know if there are any side effects to this, though, so you might want to try it out thoroughly before putting it in place. On the other hand, it will also prevent shell commands from running from the external editor, which is probably what you want. Gary Duzan GTE Laboratories
