I have several odd and end questions.

First, the files program posted a few days ago. (Thanks Matt - I like it).
I seem to be getting multiple entries for every program. Any reason why?
Here I don't mean the same program in two place, I mean the same program
on the same disk with the same pathhas two listings, both together? Any ideas?

Next the RUN command. If I use the command 'format drive df0: name "whatever"',
I always get the prompt to insert the disk and press return to continue.
If I run the command, no prompt, just a formatted system disk (try to use
diskdoctor on that - not a dos disk - can't even install it).
I also have a problem using it from vdk:. If I leave run in df0:c with
c: assigned to vdk:c, it works great. If I put run in vdk:c with c: assigned
to vdk:c and run a program from shell v2.08 (whatever the new version is),
I get really wierd results.
First the program runs. Then I get the CLI prompt back. NOT the shell prompt,
the CLI prompt. No commands will work, however. Now if I kill the process I
started with run, I get another CLI prompt. Now type ENDCLI, and I have a
working shell again (back at the shell prompt, all command work)? Any
body know what that one is all about?

I have an amiga 1000, external drive, Insider 1Meg board, using vdk: (beta
shareware version, new version has not arrived), popcli, heliosmouse, and
clickupfront.

Thanks for any help.

Avery
