Hi Derek,


Well ok, but, i was saying in another post that i did want to allow
the form:
  c:\MyDir\MyFile
as well as:
  'c:\MyDir\MyFile'
so that the user has the choice to only type the path itself when
only ONE path is filled in.

You think this is compatible with your code?

I'll try to run the code you presented last time too.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
