|  I was in error about the underscore bug. You don't even have to enter a

|  will crash the ST *very* hard!

I understand the bug, and bugs are bad!!  But why would one enter anything
at all in the directory line other than, for example, D: to change drives?
After that one can use the directory selection mechanism in fselect(?) to go
up and down the directory tree to the proper directory.  If one lands on a
directory that contains the ubiquitous underscore, that does not crash the
ST.  I find the standard file selection mechanism sufficiently versatile
that I have not yet put fselect2 in my \AUTO\ folder.  I must admit that the
documentation on fselect is virtually non-existant.  Thanks to the discussions
here on info-atari16 digest (and the newsgroups) I've learnt a lot about
fselect's functionality.  Thanks folks!

But then, I may be missing something....  Replies directly to me or info-atari16
but I can't access any of the newsgroups.  ;-{
