You can also OPEN the volume name of the disk like a regular text file to READ. This code should work: 10 PRINT CHR$(4)"OPEN VOLUMENAME" 20 PRINT CHR$(4)"READ VOLUMENAME" 30 INPUT PR$: REM use regular text file processing 40 PRINT CHR$(4)"CLOSE" I can't remember if you have to prefix VOLUMENAME with a slash, but otherwise th is should work. Don't know if you could also write to the directory. Dave Seah --- Worcester Polytechnic Institute BITNET: dseah@wpi.bitnet INTERNET: dseah@wpi.wpi.edu AppleLink PE: Omnitreant
