Huh?!? Either you're not making sense, or I'm not making myself clear... :-)

Try this: 

Pretend you have a 1-drive system.
cd to your workbench volume. 
type: 'dir +'
insert a different disk in the same drive.
press enter.
you get a directory listing....

What I meant was to not mess this up if you start messing with the 
meaning of '+' with your piping scheme.

Am I making sense?
