Not to mention that it will look in the "Current Working Directory" *before* searching the path, the same principle as having a "./" as the first thing in your search path in Unix.... odd that most everyone in the world would recognize that as a very bad thing except for Microsoft. It's even more dangerous in the GUI environment where people are (a) more likely to forget the concept of a current working directory, and (b) there's nothing to tell you what the CWD is, short of opening a command prompt - and then, depending on how it's opened, it still may not show you. steve
