k3e, Again, Lee has done a good job of explaining things… and it sounds like you've got dloading under control for the time being. What you need to do is spend some time in the CLI ( click on the "CLI" Icon on your workbench disk, if you don't see it, look in the "system" drawer)… there are a few commands that are _very_ useful… to enter them, just type their name and possibly an arguement to the command. Here are a few that you'll want to play with… ( you type these at the "1>" prompt, don't type the quotes, but everything I put in the quotes)…. "dir" will give you a 'directory' of the current drive ( a list of files ) "dir df1:" would give you a list of files on an external drive if you have one "dir c:" _this_ one will give you a list of all the other commands that you use in the CLI. Gee, I just realized how drawn out this can get <grin>, but here's a few more to play with: "list", "copy df0:filename ram:" (copies a file to ram:) "cd df0:term" (this would make a directory named "term" on your internal drive the "current directory", "delete ram:filename" (yes, it does what it sounds like <grin> ), "rename ram:oldfilename ram:newfilename" (to rename a file), "copy ram:arc.exe df0:c/arc" (copies "arc.exe" from ram: to your 'c' (command) directory and renames it to "arc" while it's at it). Once you play with these some, you'll get the hang of it… also for most commands, you can type a '?' after them and get an idea of what the command want's as an arguement. Good luck, – Keith
