Fern, Your libs: directory is not in C: There are several directories on your Workbench disk. The c: directory is for commands. (Makes sense, doesn't it?) It holds all the commands you type at the CLI such as DIR, COPY, CD, etc. Type DIR C: if you want to see what is there. The libs: directory holds lots of libraries. A library is a set of routines that can be shared by all the programs that are running and each library deals with a specific kind of routines. If you get a directory of the libs: directory, you will find things like the diskfont.library that handles the fonts, the translator.library that handles speech, the IEEE math libraries (forget their exact names) and that kind of thing. The devs: library has the various devices such as the disk drives, the printer, the serial port (usually for your modem), the parallel port (most often used for the printer), and that sort. You can learn a good bit about the amiga just by reading a list of the files in these various directories. It gives you a better idea of where things go. So yes, you should not have put c:libs – just put libs: Betty
