Lines: 24 Assuming you mean "mail" directory, which is where the LOGIN file is stored for each user, you can do a DOS SET UserID = "%USER_ID" %USER_ID is the user's NetWare ID, which is the same number as the user's mail directory. If you are looking to get into the user's home directory, the preceding messages will do the trick. Instead of changing every user's login, just change the system login script. Depending on how you need to use this info, you may find a PD utility by David Harris useful. The utility is named HOME.EXE, and it should be available on splicer.cba.hawaii.edu and possibly on rodan.acs.syr.edu. Typing HOME will change you to your home directory. Typing HOME /m will change you to your mail directory. Typing HOME username or HOME username /m will change you to the specified user's home or mail directory, respectively. Hope this helps. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * RUCS/User Services * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------
