   Shouldn't that be *.CSY ?   
   CST isn't defined as a file extension in the BSO standard, afaik.

   TRY files just contain the status of the last connect. So they don't do   
   anything. But they will remain forever for every node you ever had a   
   connection with. So it doesn't hurt to clean them up once in a while...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
