Haven't a clue. I tried that, along with about 20 other variations of
colons, forward slashes, back slashes, etc., and MC always returned
"false". The best one was this handler I wrote:
on test
answer folder "Pick a folder."
put it
end test
When I chose the D drive, the result in the message box was: "D:/". When
I typed "put there is a directory 'D:/'" the result was false. Go figure.
Someone just told me I had to scan every letter of the alphabet looking
for a file I know exists on the CD. That seems pretty Gatesian, given
that on a Mac I can say "there is a folder 'CDName'" and MC returns
"true". Do I really have to do all that scanning?
