After reading Alex Moore's and your responses, maybe I'll just hide under
the desk with the MES.

Yes, there is a reason that keeps me from putting V5R1 or V5R2 on before the
installation.  The 2395 cannot support any release over V4R5.  It has a
Pulsar processor.  The upgrade will move us to a S-Star, so I have no choice
but wait until the hardware is installed and then go to V5R1 or R2

I promise to read the Memo to Users for the new releases.  There are too
many changes not to.

Thank you and Alex for your responses and warnings.

Mary Jo
