The @ meant delete or ignore the previous character which is what you're seeing. Add the following line to your PROFILE EXEC file to tell the system not to do this: 'TERMINAL CHARDEL OFF' While you're at it, you might also add: 'TERMINAL ESCAPE OFF' so you can use the " on the command line also. Hope this helps. Jim...
