This is only evident when one is loading or writing text files from APW (WP as well as DB). Seems as though when aplwks asks for the complete pathname, they expect just that! I work off a hard drive and that is a real pain when I am 4 or 5 subdirectories deep. The alternative in Aplwks is to escape back to other activities and then list all files on the current drive. After that, add a new file to the WP from a text file will require jus the filename input. THIS ONLY WORKS ONE TIME! for the next file, tis back to other activities and list all files again! Since this sounds similar with MLI, I suspect that both programs are writing the prefix to a "soft" setting. This area will need work in any extensive hard drive application. Hear us APPLE?
