Luckley, I am very talanted in PC Networking. A DIRECT connection to
anotehr computer is by typing in \\ws1 in the address bar of My Computer.
Replace the 'WS1" with the name of the computer you want to connect to.
Then, it will give you a list of shared drives on that computer. For Rev,
all you ahve to do is type File:\\ws1\c\ then you are connected. Good
luck!

like to know how -- I was unable to get a PC reference to another machine on
the network to work directly. I made it work by mapping the server to a
local drive, and then referencing that. But is there a direct way?
