Is there a site where one can find MPW scripts? I am interested in a better version of directory, one which, for example, will pop you into the root directory with no arguments, and which will pop up a level with a .. argument (like unix, or--gasp--dos). Thanks, Fred Dushin Syracuse University

You can always go up a level with :: (some people even alias .. to ::) Doing something like Alias cdr 'cd "{Boot}"' will get you the other thing. >Thanks, >Fred Dushin >Syracuse University -- //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Lanett mlanett@uiuc.edu Software Tools Group, NCSA

Try "Directory ::" for the second one. -- Marshall Clow marshall@sdd.hp.com
