Sounds somewhat like the extended file attributes on Solaris or multiple streams of NTFS (files with : in their name) on Windows. Maybe there could be a mechnism that would work for all of them? I patched ksh93n+ back then so that cd -@ could be used to access extended file attributes (instead of having to use runat). Patch is at http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/show_news?f_project_id=0000027 (dated, of course). Markus
