I maintain a file list for ARCH-L and am now placing a newsletter in the filelist. I want the current issue to be always available as HERITAGE TIMES and previous issues to be available as HERITAGE V#N#. When I get a new issue, I just lsvput the new file as HERITAGE TIMES, get the filelist, append a new file description for the previous volume/number, put the list back and then a copy of the previous issue. My only problem has been with the file description of the HERITAGE TIMES file. XEDIT prevents me from changing the description to update the volume/number information. Is this a quirk of XEDIT that I can circumvent with another editor, or can the description of a previously defined file not be changed? = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = David L.
