Hi. I have not had the problem the peron a few posts ago said about the directories updating in the FileManager. Whenever I do anything that has to do with reading/writing/moving/copying/etc files, the filemanager updates its directory windowz! I even think that it's kinda neat to watch.. put the filemanager in a convient spot, leave the directory open that you're writing files to, and save a file ino that dirctory! Bingo, the filemanager updates and redraws! Note that this only works for WINDOWS applications.. applications running in a dos window or a dos full-screen session don't have the same effect. If this is the problem (stuff at dos prompt doesn't get updated in the filemanager), you can hit <F5> to manually redraw the selected window, or you can add the line: FileSysChange=on (the case IS important) *** this command, and many others, are documented in the SYSINI*.TXT files. This file says that the line above has a <boolean> setting, but I don't know if that means <true> & <false>, or <yes> & <no>, and the manual has _both_ in the examples. Your mileage may vary. -- Aaron Coolidge acoolidg@wpi.wpi.edu bitnet:sorry, use a gateway. "I'm always in control of my car. Well, at least 70% of the time."
