Ok Vern, but you never need to beg here.  It's an open forum. :-)

get also works with .file, which is all I ever wanted to point out.  

I didn't intend for this to become a religious debate so I'll bow out of the
conversation now.

Thank you for the information you provided. I'm sure it will come in handy
for many list readers.

Shannon - I beg to differ - try the .savf extension - it is a special one
for SAVFs only. 

Yes, normally you use the object type, but for SVFs you use this one. The
object type will work equally well for downloading fro iSeries, but it will
create a PF if uploading - hence, the special extension.

Using this special extension means you do NOT have to pre=create the SAVF.
It's a wonderful thing!
