One of these: 1. You need to use /bin/echo instead of echo. (Meaning your path is incorrect) 2. You do not have write permission to the directory. (You can't create the file) 3. You don't have write permission on the file (Meaning it exists and isn't owned by you.) -- gburnore@databasix.com mailto:gburnore@DataBasix.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- How you look depends on where you go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary L.
