Under Windows, ... is the parent of the parent in Windows 98 and later. I don't *think* it worked in Win 95 or all the way back to DOS 1.0. This can be carried to earlier ancestors too: .... or ..... or ...... Rebol seems to have a quirk when using these directory aliases: list-dir % ../ ;; gets the parent (two dots) list-dir % .. ;; also gets the parent list-dir % .../ ;; gets the parent of the parent (three dots) list-dir % ... ;; Access error: cannot open file name blah/blah/... So it appears to understand the dot-alias convention only with two dots or an explicit trailing slash Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
