Thank you - I _have_ rtfm, but I expect my eyes glazed over as I probably didn't understand it all at the time. It's one of those probably insurmountable problems I suppose (not thick users) - how to cross reference a document under any reasonable heading that could be looked for? I may be making excuses (but _not_ complaining) but "Special Filenames/Posix Devices/" wasn't the first place I thought to look for access to cdrom - this is likely because I've spent too much time on windows and not enough on unix/linux. I do really like cygwin as I would have a much harder time without it. *********************************************************************** This e-mail transmission is strictly confidential and intended solely for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
