I think you have a case where the current directory is on a disk, and you remove that disk from the drive. Anything that will need to check the current directory will result in a requester asking you to put that disk back in the drive, since the current directory is not accessible. The problem went away when you changed to a directory on a different device. It's not a bug, but just some potentially confusing behavior on the part of AmigaDOS, especially if you are used to the behavior of MS-DOS and the like. -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "You just don't get off a spaceship and run." --Avon
