Thanks Edward - I have added the line about create non existing directories 
to the mysettings files.

Here's the current behaviour...

I have an @path node representing a directory

1 I right click on the @path node and select active-path-make-dir from the 
path option. Up comes the name directory dialogue.

2 I type a name for the directory and a sub-node appears beneath the @path 
node. Named in the style /New-Directory/

3 I save the outline - but my new directory is not created at this point - 
I get a note in the log file saying - Path will be created if a file is 
saved on it
I only get this warning once further saves are silent on the matter.

4 I create a node - Active_Path_Test  - under the /New-Directory/ node and 
save the outline - no OS action as yet!

5 I right click on my new node and select path/active-path-act-on-node   - 
no dice - log warning 'Create parent directories first.'

6 I rename node @auto Active_Path_Test - and save the outline - at this 
point file and directory are created.

7 I create a new file in the directory from the OS side.

8 Right click on the /New-Directory/ node and select  
path/active-path-act-on-node and my OS created file appears as a node - 
empty at the moment

9 I right click on my OS-File node and select  path/active-path-act-on-node 
and the content of the file appears.


Sorry for the long winded 'path' to here but I guess what is confusing me 
is that nodes which create files on the Leo side have to need to have a an 
'@auto' prefix whereas the glory of Active Path is that files grabbed from 
the OS don't - is that expected behaviour? 

Thanks for all your patience.
