Thanks Kelly, 
Not sure about anyone else's Outlook client but mine thoroughly hosed up
those three commands to look like:

 "audit library libname checklabel=barcode checkin libvol libname
  search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch checkin libvol libname
  search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private"

So here they are spread out:

audit library libname checklabel=barcode 

checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=scratch 

checkin libvol libname search=yes checklabel=barcode status=private

See Ya'
Howard
