Greetings!
I'm having a strange problem. Has anybody encountered the
following before:
I have adirectory called TEST which is contained in the
directory PROJECTS. I wanted to get rid of TEST, so I removed all
the files contained in TEST, and from the PROJECTS directory issued
the 'RMDIR TEST' command. The 'invalid directory...' error occured,
and I cannot get rid of the directory.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

If you have Norton Utilities, you might look in the parent
directory of the directory you are trying to delete to see
just what the name of your mystery directory is. (NU has
a good directory editing mode for this kind of stuff.)
My bet is that the mystery directory is not named 'TEST'
but is ' Test' or something wierd like that. If you don't
have Norton Utilities (or something similar like PC Tools
or MKS toolkit), I suggest you get them. They are a must
for every knowledgeable PC user.
Of course, this doesn't answer the question of how you could
CD into that directory in the first place. However, NU would
be a good place to begin unraveling this mystery.
