I was unable to check it out at work because ABB has filtered out all forms of entertainment on the internet. But I went home last night and checked it out from home. "Irrational urge to possess the latest rev. of all the software," or words to that effect. Yep. It fits. Somehow, I expect better from ANSYS though. And of course, /mstart,main,off and /mstart,zoom,on are still documented in the help, same as always. Mark Hommel, Ph.D., P.E. Senior Engineer ABB Offshore Systems Inc. Houston,TX

That's what I ended up doing as well. Maybe you missed Chris's post from yesterday. Look at yesterdays Dilbert strip.....
Anyone seen Dilbert this morning? Every so often Adams really hits home...

Bill, Yes, of course that works. Thanks. I just didn't want to stoop that low and regress to a former rev.'s appearance. I mean, after all, this is supposed to be an improvement, isn't it? Mark Hommel, Ph.D., P.E. Senior Engineer ABB Offshore Systems Inc. Houston, TX

I don't have 6.1 installed, but try /MSTART,UTIL,1 to get the "old look". If that works, try the other commands as well. Please let me know whether that works.
