Hi DEC Unix Managers,

The group comes through again. Sorry, yes, I should have searched the
archives before posting. The answer is:

>>>isp1020_edit -sd

(It is in release notes section 3.3.4 of V4.0B. It applies to a 1000a
system but it is the same problem with the same solution).

Thank you to those who replied, if I left out your name, my apologies:
Jude T. Cruz
