Russ, I have a problem similar in that I lost a directory inside of one of
its own subdirectories – a situation called circular directories. It was
interesting because when it occured I had ProWrite running and it was still
able to access the missing directories. When I would request the parent of
directory a I would go to directory b – then if I requested the parent of
directory b I would go back to a – there was no way out AND (more
importantly) there IS NO WAY IN from amigados. In effect both directories
(and, of course all the subdirectories inside them) DISAPPEARED! My next
step is to look into a disk editor such as DISKX (DiskX2.arc in the file
area). I hope that I can get into the original parent directory and move
it back out of its child. All in all the whole problem has been a
philosophical experience for me, kind of like a mobius loop, or maybe this
is what a wormhole in Star Trek warp lingo is like!
Good Luck JL
