Cc: COMP.SYS.AMIGA@MILANO.SW.MCC.COM Hi, I read your message, so I can confirm that your messages are making it to comp.sys.amiga here in austin,texas (?from Ottawa, Canada?). You also bring up another point which I hope gets discussed on the net. That is "what ever disk happens to be in to be in the drive" and a similar issue: I wish (maybe I just don't Know how to) I had the ability to cd (change dir) to my choice of DFx, dhx, ram:, or mydisk: or C:. Currently, when I cd df0: the system actually cd's to the disk volume that happened to be in df0: (an error in my book). I disclaim everything including disclaimers.

I have a simple dodge that I use a lot: if for example you have a work directory you want to keep coming back to, simply do an "assign w: df1:mywork" or whatever, then whenever you want that particular directory just refer to it as "w:". Saves a lot of typing. -- Pete G. --
