Yes but
there is a directory "D://" ... returns true
That's a bug inherited by MetaCard from an inconstancy of MS-DOS.
At the beginning of the story, DOS returns "d:\" (with a final "\") for a volume and
"d:\myDir" (without a final "\") for directories.
An important consequence of this bug : never put MetaCard at the root of your disk.
If you install MetaCard at the root c:/mc.exe
open it
put the filename of this stack -> c://mchome.mc (yes, 2 slashes)
An other consequence : if you put MetaCard at the root, it is fooled and needs
between 20 and 30 seconds to open the script window ...
