Hi all, Greg, yes, just type in the path starting with the original slash. e.g. If I type c-x c-f and it says flurry.txt and I don't want that file, I want /usr/books/etexts/books.lst, that's what I type in the field. It is just over written. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp at eznet.net ICQ Number: 33006854 WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
