UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Not only can you not simply 'rename' (or whatever) an exsiting directory in DOS, but WINDOWS 3.0 ALSO DOES NOT HIDE THIS STUPID LIMITATION!!! Am I so naive a Mac user as to want to simply rename a folder (sorry, directory)? Let alone have a decent number/type of characters in the name... =========================================================================== Stewart Tansley | STC Technology Ltd | 'Be cool, or be | London Rd, Harlow, CM17 9NA, UK | cast out...' dswt@stl.stc.co.uk | +44 279 429531 x2763 | Subdivisions, Rush =========================================================================== 'You know how that rabbit feels - going under your spinning wheels...' ===========================================================================
