Ray, The PRAGMA('D',dir) is intended to return the full name of the current directory, and the problem with RAM: is just a limitation with the RAM: handler. To get a path name I call ParentDir() repeatedly to reach the root node, and use Examine() to get the name at each point. A proper file system is expected to return the name of the volume as the root, but RAM: is a pseudo-filesystem and returns a null volume name — hence the : To the best of my knowledge this will be fixed in 1.3, and you can probably safely assume that a null volume name will only indicate RAM:. -Bill Hawes
