Why not change the sql documentation to say: <windows-directory>\my.ini (e.g., c:\windows\my.ini) Global options instead of: windows-system-directory\my.ini Global options It's understandable why the author might have originally thought to write it that way, but to defend it on the grounds that it isn't confusing to a native English speaker is silly: It isn't English, and it's slightly ambiguous. I thought Yusuf's explanation of why it was confusing was clear, if not the King's English. -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
