I run the OS/2 version of net.exe, KA9Q/2, in an OS/2 window which is
spawned from a DOS box session within which I run DIS, and very nicely it
all goes together too.

Until recently, I'd had only one disk "drive" (C:) in my system, but I've
since replaced the original with a 2.1GB split into various partitions:
    C: 40MB primary partition, with DOS (FAT)
    D: (spare, for reasons too complicated to go into here!)
    E: 250MB main OS/2 boot partition (HPFS)
    F: 200MB FAT partition which amongst others, contains my \DEMON tree
    G: 1.6GB HPFS partition with all the rest
(D, E, F & G are all logical partitions in the extended partition on the
HDD)

The DOS box runs "under" F:\DEMON.

The problem arises if I try to perform FTP from within the login session
to Demon, when KA9Q/2 runs.  If I use the "cd" command at the net> prompt
to change to a different directory before starting the FTP client, I can
move to any directory I want, provided it's on the E: drive.  Issuing a
command like "cd F:\TEMP" gets me something like "change unsuccessful",
and "E:/" is echoed (ditto if I use a forward slash instead,
incidentally).  If I try "cd X:", where X is any of C..G, I get no
complaints about not setting the directory, but "E:/" is still echoed,
and that's where files end up, and the same happens if I put a forward or
reverse slash after the colon.

Anyone any ideas why I cannot make this change?  Is there perhaps some
other command that I should be using instead?
