Please do _all_ of the following: (Here, $ is the shell prompt) $ cd # Let's just be sure we are in ~ $ touch .muttdebug0 $ ls -a | more # Did you previously omit the '-a'? ################################### If there is still no .muttdebug0, then you will have received some form of "permission denied" error message, and should show us the output of: $ ls -ld so we can advise on the permissions. But my 2c is on you having omitted the -a from the ls command, needed to display invisible files. (man ls) Erik -- A computer is like an air conditioner, it works poorly when you open Windows.
