All right, Thank you for the assistance all. It has been helpful. I took Andy & Jeff's lead to check the Kernel and sure enough there is no such device. Is my best bet to try to load a newer version? I am less afraid of this prospect after fighting my way through X problems in 6.0 before going to 7.1. Any words to the wise before embarking on this adventure? Up until now I have used off the shelf disks to get the job done. How much more treacherous is trying to grab stuff on-line? COLIN
Basic stuff: if you cannot cat a file to /dev/lp0, then you probably have a kernel related problem. That will need to be fixed first. Jeff's earlier e-mail explains in brief how to do this.
Try something like this:
cat/.cshrc > /dev/lp0
OK, once that works, you know that the kernel is OK.
