Myron:

A couple of thoughts re your directory change frame:

-> {{5,book}}
-> [ASCII-2][BX]cd c:\book[Q2][ASCII-2]

If your hard disk is partitioned into logical drives, you'll want to
precede the CD command with a statement that logs on to the
appropriate drive:

[BX]c:[Q2][BX]cd c:\book[Q2]

If you do a lot of jumping around between directories (and who
doesn't?), do yourself a favor and get VCD! This shareware classic
lets you change to any 8.3 directory on any drive by supplying a
fragment of the directory name. So, if you want to go to
G:\USERDOCS\CURRENT\BKLENGTH\BOOKS\BOOK2\CHAPTER3 and you're
currently in C:\BOOK, you'd issue, say, VCD G:3. Bingo, you're
there. If no directory contains the exact fragment, VCD presents a
list of near matches; cursor down to the desired directory and hit
Enter. Immensely useful.

You can download VCD at XyWWWeb. It runs seamlessly from the Xy
CMline via a Jumbo U2 frame (also called VCD).
