I tried... [file dirname [value root.name]][cd ../Comp]
...and it gives me the error "couldn't change working directory to "../Comp": no such file or directory".

It seems that the cd doesn't work because it's "outside" of that command and is handled as a separate, unrelated command... Rich On Apr 26, 2012, at 9:38 AM, Rich Bobo wrote: > Howard, > > Hmm...
