Quoting Fred Weiner: No, SETTINGS.DFL requires hard-coded paths. So you do need to delete or disable the lines in SETTINGS.DFL that contain paths, and shift them over to STARTUP.INT. PORTABLE.INT shows you how.Next question: how to make SETTINGS.DFL portable? Of course, one could remove all instances where a path is hard coded and invoke them in STARTUP.INT. But for my learning's sake, will the settings file allow for the same VA usage?-- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx
