Thanks for the suggestion Steven.    I opened and os/2 window from my 
maintenance partition and used your command line info being careful to put 
a 1 after the &. 
When I ran it, the directory file names did not scroll on the screen.  
Instead there was a beep and the temp.lst contained the same material I 
described in a previous post but no list of whatever was read.   
Did I screw up something. 
I was wondering if the "Check Path and File Names" option of the Unimaint 
Repair INI files (or something else in Unimaint) would identify the 
non-existent path.  Or if I could print out a Tree with all path and file 
names and count down the required number of lines assuming each path name 
and each file is one line. 
I am being persistent about eliminating this problem because os/2 is on my 
c: partition and the difficulty may cause real trouble in the future.
