David,

Good idea.  Now all I need to do is remember to do it! :^)

It appears as tho that's correct, but I have two inf files, different sizes
and dates, that are both the Object Rexx .inf files.  They are named as you
indicated above, and chage when I run SWITCHRX.

Hmmm.  I am running Warp 4.  I'm not sure what happened, but today I located
all the REXX stuff on the CD and unpacked it manually. Now all I need to do is 
find out if I can easily install FP11 a second time, or I'll have to wait for
the next one to get the files updated.  I *will* try to remember to switch
back to CREXX first, tho.

Thanks, David.
