Ena, Yes, CLImate will indeed make the job of moving files around easier. "Creative" use of the CLI can also make it easier. For example, say you wanted all music files in a directory called MUSIC. Then on your new disk, simply MAKEDIR MUSIC and then download your music files to Downloads1:Music/<filename> and they will be written to that sub-directory of your disk named Downloads1. As to moving files into a directory…real easy, just rename them including the path as part of the rename. Example, you have a file called "music.man" on the disk and have now created a directory called "music" (forget the quotes … I'm just using them for clarity) then you would type the following at a cli: rename downloads1:music.man downloads1:music/music.man The rename is quite fast and doesn't leave you with 2 copies of the file…the original and a copy in the new directory. Also, I note in your message, you are refering to files downloaded as df0:filename. Try to stay away from using device names (df0:) if at all possible until you get familiar with AmigaDOS, try to use the disk name (in my examples, I've been using downloads1:) as that refers to a specific disk rather than a specific drive. Now, I seem to recall that you had a disk named something like "cis disk 1" (here the quotes are important as there are spaces in the name!). You can either rename the disk via the relabel command or you can type the command I gave above as: rename "cis disk 1:music.man" "cis disk 1:music/music.man" Note the quotes surrounding the entire name, not just the disk name, you will need that if you have any spaces in the name.
