| I knew that one but it is going to be used to create an answerback
in a .COM file. If there is a way to put a Control sequance in
a file, please do tell.

To put a ^E in a file (called CTRLE.DAT) ...
$ CTRL_E[0,8] := %x05
$ OPEN/WRITE file CTRLE.DAT
$ WRITE file CTRL_E
$ CLOSE file

| The little program you gave me didn't work. It said something about
Control E not being defined. I think maybe if I state what my problem is
it will help out better.
We have two people who use our account. We both have different things
we need defined like All-in-1 names, process names, logicals etc.
So I put in LOGIN.COM a file that would inquire who it was, and then go
to the appropriate definitions.
What I want is to be able to put a unique identification of some kind in
the answerback of each persons terminal. The file would then inquire which
user it was by looking in the auto answerback of the person logging in.
Then there would be no user input and it would be easier to log in if you
were in a hurry.

| Using the answerback is _very_ poor security, as it can be reset
by anyone with physical access to the terminal.
Why can't you use two accounts? Can't be that difficult to set up
to do what you want.
Each person with legitimate access to a computer system should have
a password which only he/she knows, and that person is responsible for
the security of the password.
This is why sharing accounts is poor security too.
