Actually it does work. Try the following snippet of code. You will see that it prints out the files in c:/program files and then changes back to your c:/ directory. (you might want to try a smaller directory, but I wanted to choose one that I knew you had).
chdir "c:/program files"; opendir(DIR,"."); print(readdir DIR); print "\n\n"; chdir ".."; opendir(DIR,"."); print(readdir DIR); -----Original Message----- From: T. B.

I have tried the following: chdir (".."); chdir ("\\.."); but no avail. Any ideas? tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
