If you are not an administrator and the command Append is not in the list of allowed commands, then it is denied.>PS- Docs suggestion: A useful addition to the online docs might be to add >another item in the File Formats list called Preferences where you >would explain the concept and purpose of each of the individual prefsGood idea. It's been in my notes for a while. I'm thinking it may be better to actually put Help hyperlinks right into the preferences admin page.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
