Hi Barry, Thanks for all this info. I was basically following the instructions on the audio. I wondered why she didn't do the whole directory change in one step.

I'd never used quotes when dealing with command lines, but then I think the last time I did that was back in the DOS days when filenames didn't have spaces .:)
