HELP!  I inadvertently found a bug in the MV command found on FF219.

I had the following directory structure:

Work:Emulations (dir)
   CPM (dir)
   File1.CPM
   File2.CPM
   .
   .
   .
   Filen.CPM

Work:Emulations/CPM (dir)
   Drive_A (Dir)

I used the mv command to move all the CPM files to Work:emulations/cpm/drive_a
by using the command:

mv work:emulations/#?CPM#? work:emulations/CPM/drive_a

And it moved the CPM directory into the child directory (I assume)
and now it is totally inaccessible!!!

I would be most appreciative if someone could help me out on this one.
I don't want to have to backup all my files and then format the hard
disk partition.

Thanks in advance,

Pat (I'll be more careful with my wildcards next time) Martin
