Another headache caused by Microsoft. However, Linux can solve the problem by using a "\" like "Program\ Files" Leave it to people that can't understand a "_" instead of a delimiter " ". -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __

I got it:

cd /windows/c/Program\Files/Microsoft\Office/Office

Thanks again

Not quite right yet.... need a blank before 'Files'. cd /windows/c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\Office/Office
