Ah, I guess I might've mentioned this... But it's VMS, not Unix. Actually, the reason I'm writing this script in the first place is that we are planning on moving over to an AIX box.
Oh well, I get the feeling this is going to be a major pain to get working. I suppose it's not all that big a deal (the current scripts can't do function keys either), I just wanted to show the ALMIGHTY POWER OF PERL!!! *ahem* Er, sorry 'bout that. ;-)
Anyway, thanks for trying to help out. Sorry I didn't give all the info to start...
