You and Dan are giving me whiplash. :-) I was excited for a minute, and then I was back to searching. I did try using cygpath -asm to generate short version names and then using shell '"shortFQPNtoexecutable shortFQPNtodata"' While it doesn't get an error, it doesn't seem to do anything, either. I tried the 1!:44, and it does set the pwd for me, as verified by fdir. But ,----[ .ijx snippet ] | shell './executbl.flename datafle.flname.in' | '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, | operable program or batch file. `---- I'm still confused. Without the ., it gives no errors and no results, which is no better. I saw Devon's other note about using a shell script to change directories and execute the C program. Because the datafile and perhaps the executable are generated by J and thus liable to change each time I run the J script, I hate to do that. I think it would be less typing to simply switch to a bash shell and invoke the C program manually, but it seems like a shame not to be able to do it inline, as it were. Other ideas? This could be a great Wiki topic, once it's resolved.
