Hi,

For all our uses running windows, the desktop is actually a network 
drive.  If you try converting a docbook xml file to html for example, 
when you browse to the desktop as the save directory in the "browse box" 
the path is displayed in the form "\\SERVER\username\.windata\Desktop".

But then when you click save the directory path is changed to 
"/username/.windata/Desktop/" in the "save directory box" within XXE, ie 
it strips out the server name.  So then when you click ok to do the 
conversion, you get this error message:

    Command execution has failed:
    Cannot create directory "\\"


However it does work properly, as expected, if you manually type in the 
server name, ie changing the save directory path to 
"//SERVER/username/.windata/Desktop/".

Is there a reason the server name is stripped out?  I've also had 
similar problems using the variables %p and %P in macro and process 
commands.  Under linux (debian) %p or file://%P works fine, but not 
file:///%P. However under windows (2000 professional) only file:///%P works.

I'm currently using the pro edition V2.11, though I'm sure this was a 
problem in earlier versions and the std edition as well.

Thanks for you help and for a great product!
Dominique
