The URL is well over 2,000 bytes which is why I suspect it is not a command line problem. Someone at Chase Research came up with the same suggestion. Please note I set the dos shell environment to '/E:8192' I was told by Netscape that the QUERY_STRING presented would 'break a lot of browsers'. My opinion is that the environment space should only be limited by the available memory. ( I suspect the fellow who wrote Perl might agree ). -- Peter A.
