File Manager keeps a list of previous directories in a [Previous] paragraph. Does anyone know what it uses this for? (I thought it might be possible to retrieve a previous ession's setup, but can't find an option for this.) -- +--------------------------------------+ | Roger Hadgraft +----------------------------------+ | Senior Lecturer | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au | | Dept of Civil Engineering | phone: +61 3 565 4983 | | Monash University | fax: +61 3 565 4944 or 3409 | | Clayton, Vic. 3168.

If you have a network driver installed, File Manager enables the "Disk\Connect Net Drive..." and "Disk\Disconnect Net Drive..." menu items. When you use "Disk\Connect Net Drive..." you get a dialog prompting you for what drive to connect and what network file service to connect to. This dialog also has a "Add to Previous List" check box and a "Previous..." button. These work in conjuction to provide the ability so save connections for use in future sessions. This list is kept in the [previous] section in your WINFILE.INI file.
