Probably true! ;-) But it works, and the reasons why it does (or why it shouldn't) is something I'm generally grappling with. > Other than that, this looks ok. The question I was really asking was the following. My simplified example again ... folder-hook ~/Mail "set my_next=~/Mail/lists" folder-hook ~/Mail/lists "set my_next=~/Mail" folder-hook . "macro browser n <change-dir><kill-line>\$my_next<enter>" Starting in ~/Mail, an 'n' in the browser takes me to ~/Mail/lists, as it should, but the game ends there. What I want to do is to use 'n' so that I can repeatedly cycle between those two hierarchies while still in the browser. That would involve re-setting $my_next each time in the macro is executed, yes? That's what I can't seem to figure out. Thanks. -- George
