Note that I said "I think" that is how Cyrus works, given my understanding of how I've been told that it works. One of the Cyrus people will have to say for sure. The second case is the important one. I agree that it would probably be more useful if the last case returned zap.zowie, but I don't think that Cyrus has any concept of "breakout" characters that take you to the root of the hierarchy the way a filesystem does (e.g. "/" and "~" on UNIX). -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
