That's the behavior on POSIXy systems, but I had the impression that on Windows the SET command would have a global effect. I seem to remember using a variant of this to do things like set file associations from the DOS shell on NT4, and being surprised that a command I expected to only work for the current session having effects on all future sessions. Maybe that was something else though... But I avoid Windows as much as I can get away with, so I could easily be wrong about this. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
