Thanks for the tips. I'll follow-up by following the file dir links you posted earlier.

Thanks, Matthew. <blush> FileDir can seem overwheling at first because of the number of commands available. Let me share these tips for learning in case they help: * Start by using the program like Windows Explorer, where arrow keys navigate the items in a folder, Enter opens one, Control+A selects all, and Control+C copies. * Make use of the MDI environment, where Control+O opens another folder to view and Control+Tab cycles among open windows. * Use Alt+Shift+H for a hotkey summary, or Alt+F10 for an alternate menu that lists every available command and its keystroke in a standard listbox. You can use initial letter navigation there, Control+J to jump to an item based on text it contains, or Alt+J to jump to the next match.

I heard a main menu review of Jamal's File Dir utility and was amazed at what this thing was able to do--beat the pants off of the ginsu knives. The features seemed endless--in comparison to the romco food processor and the abdominizer. I am not using it because the many features made me feel as though I would probably spend lots of time learning how to use it. ...now that I think of it, maybe I should look into it again as I'mcurrently having to look through many folders and subfolders searching endlessly for files???
