Awwrrry! I did not mean to start a war on the uses of "/", "\", "|" or "::". I was just trying to note that each system uses a directory system, but each uses a unique directory symbol. And that the Mac OS prior to OS-X hides all the directory stuff from the users. Mac OS you can call up the Command line if you want to get your hands all dirty and greasey if you want <Grin>. Or You can use the Aqua interface not have to worry about typing the wrong thing and smoking your Hard drive . <GRIN again>. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
