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.
