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
