I first met that name on our old DOS and OS/2 systems, set up by my Dad. It was a directory on whichever drive was appropriate (exactly one per installation - we wouldn't risk a network dependency here), and had programs that would probably go in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin on a Unix system. Part of setting up a new OS/2 installation was always copying E:\SHED (the network drive) to D:\SHED, and putting D:\SHED\NPSWPS\NPSWPS.EXE into Startup. (NPS WPS Enhancer, awesome program. If you have OS/2, get it. What, you don't have OS/2 anywhere? What a surprise.) Other people had, for instance, a C:\BELFRY (best place to have BATs, you know), or other such names. What's your favorite directory/repository name for a concretion of ... random stuff? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
