I apologize in advance if you see this twice. I tried posting the
question earlier and it seems to me to have disappeared.

I am fairly sure there is a short-story version of Gordon Dickson's
novel "The Forever Man". I'd like to find it, but I don't know its
name or which collection it's in.

Plot info from fairly early in the story:
Hero is sent behind enemy lines to escort space ship back to safety.
Ship was lost so long ago, it seems a miracle the pilot hasn't died
of old age.

Additional non-spoiler points that would have jogged my memory:
"Check 10" to immediately jump to hyperspace.
Songs and poems in French-Canadian language.

I can still see your earlier post.

No clue about the story, sorry.

Thanks. I couldn't find it in my outbox, in my sent folder, nor in my
rasf folder, so I had no idea what happened. I still don't know what
happened, but at least it's only a problem on *my* computer.

I managed to find it. It's The Immortal, which I have in his
collection Mutants.
