Vern;
Even if you in DOS under windows, you can not say do "cd /program
files/". Does under windoze uses the tilde "~". Under DOS in windows to
change to directory "Program Files" you would type "cd /progra~1/" without
the quotes or if you had another directory named "Programs", it would be "cd
/progra~2", etc. Windoze dos keeps the first 6 characters of the directory
name and assigns the tilde "~" plus a numeric from 1 to 9. I do not know
what it would do if you had more than 9 directories named "program". Hope
this helps.
