i used GetPrefix with a prefix number of 0 to get the default prefix. now, Finder says the prefix i was in was named, '/dev/orca/src/ls'. note the lower case. now, when i use GetPrefix, it returns ':dev:orca:SRC:LS'. can anyone explain this? albert

That's just the way GS/OS returns prefixes. It uses colons and the case is exactly as it was given by SetPrefix. Finder processed the prefix to have all lowercase and use slashes. Maybe Finder uses the old P16 GetPrefix, I don't know. But your result was quite normal. UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!mhill INET: mhill@pnet91.cts.com
