Hi Brian, the following example code works under EXW.EXE on my NT-PC:

--------------------------------------------------------
include file.e
include get.e
integer k
? dir("\\\\adhome.win.desy.de\\rolf$\\www\\robots.txt")
k = wait_key()
--------------------------------------------------------

Check carefully the path!! Is is realy existing?
