C:\Users isn't a home directory. Indeed it's not a usual place for a Windows user to be at all. If a user is in that sort of place you'd expect them to be looking at their own files eg at C:\Users\myusername > But launching it from anywhere else fails: > > C:\>rexx makestring.rex > Unable to create test file : C:\Users\po\AppData\Local\Temp\C:\tst_input.954 You've got two complete filenames concatenated there. The "C:\tst_input.954" part is not valid on the end of the earlier bit, because ":" is only valid as the second character of a filepath, immediately after a disk letter. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
