Subject: Re: DIR not working right
Harry, you don't say which platform, in this instance, you're running Xy4
from. I had a similar problem when I ran Xy4 under VirtualBox using either
W2K or XP as the intermediary. If it hadn't been for that, I would have
stayed with VirtualBox. The problem doesn't exist under VMware. I have not
yet filed a bug report with VirtualBox.

Here's one for puzzle-solvers. I have a directory C:\DB\XFR which has
various files in it, e.g, T.PGM.
Xy can deal with that directory, and that file, in most every way-cd to it,
etc.-but it cannot do the DIR command (successfully) if I give the full
path:
DIR C:\DB\XFR\T.PGM gives "File not found."
DIR C:\DB\XFR gives 0 files found
DIR C:\DB shows all the files, including
XFR <DIR>
This behavior occurs regardless of the directory I'm logged into.
But if I log into C:\DB\XFR and do
DIR T.PGM
it finds it. And while in that directory DIR *.* works normally.
So, prepending the path makes DIR fail . . . but only for THIS
directory-e.g.. while logged into C:\DB\XY I can successfully do DIR
C:\DB\XY\*.* and DIR C:\DB\XY
Incidentally I checked the ATTRIBs and even forced them to be -H, and I
renamed the directory (from _XFR), all to no avail.
One more tidbit. If I shell to DOS from Xy, everything is hunky dory, until
I exit back to Xy.
Help appreciated.
