Hi all,

Ah, but if you type in a different directory at the prompt and expect
to be able to go into the subdirectories of that directory, you can't
do that, Dean.

This only works if the prompt is given with a subdirectory already.
Here's a graphic example.  I went into the word processor, opened a
file, got the drive, and when I pressed the directory, I was presented
with  computer braille is required /books/Shadown_Hawk  When I pressed
the space bar, I the thing tried to show me subdirectories, but there
were none.  That was OK, but when I typed in /students and pressed
enter, and then tried to list subdirectories under students, things
that are there, BTW, it wouldn't allow it.  I couldn't see any
subdirectories.  'Tis very weird.
