Thank you for the info Art - but those are two roads already traveled on this -
One approach tried was the
PROC REGISTRY
export="SAS_Reg_&sysdate9..txt";
run;
as Peter Crawford suggests - I don't find the DETAILs setting.
Also read through the DeVenezia site and a related paper last week - again - nothing on DETAILs that I saw. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks again for the pointer in any case.

Paul,
I think you were right on both counts, at least if it was the following
Peter Crawford paper that mentions Richard's page. The two can be found
at:
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi31/237-31.pdf
http://www.devenezia.com/downloads/sas/actions/
and, hopefully, are the two sources you were thinking of.

during the session, but does not change in future sessions, even
with "save settings on exit" turned on.

DETAILS default in the registry back to "off".
