 It is ':' ... anyone not sure about it ? Did I miss an update ?  ;-)


 Examples:

   chdir("programms:test area");   # relative path

   chdir("Macintosh HD:");         # absolute path to my hard disk

   chdir("::");                    # go up one level

   opendir(DIR,":");               # open the current directory



 Hope this helps, Eike
