No - this was actually changed on all platforms a while ago and is not
related to the OS 9.1 update. The reason is that the dialogs should
automatically re-open to the last directory they closed at. So you need to
specify a directory as part of the command to override this.

With Nav Services under Mac OS 9.1 (maybe earlier, I haven't tested) the
first example does not work. The second one does, but in a perfect world
I'd like to set the directory once at startup to provide a convenient
default, but if the user navigates to other folders I kinda hate to keep
making them start out at the first one each time they click my control.
If the second form ("with") works, shouldn't the first one? That is, as
long as the directory has been set, shouldn't MC use that to instruct Nav
Services?

Then try the other: -- first one set the directory to tDir answer file "Open:" -- second one answer file "Open:" with tDir Hope this helps, Sjoerd Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.

Is the setting the directory not working for answer file on Mac OS 9.1? Did it work in 9.0? (haven't used it for nav services yet).
