Yes there is a really easy way, use the Pragma() function: current_value = Pragma('DIRECTORY'|'PRIORITY',[newvalue]) IOW, Pragma('DIR','dhx:subdir') will do what you want. If you don't specify a second argument the function returns the cd. Note that the function returns the *old* value, even when it changes it. I understand that Pragma() was going to be used to allow other system changes too, but last I heard only cd and priority could be changed. Alex
