That's basically what I wound up doing from a temporary directory that the
files were dragged to. I'd have to look at my code but I think I did
essentially the same thing.

The problem with this method, to do it right, is that you have to write a whole
repertoire of file and directory management functions from batch files. It'd
be so much easier and flexible if the file/folder manipulation could be done
using existing tools (not worrying about the WP* file and deleting it before
disconnecting. It would take too much time to write all the file/folder
manipulate utilities from batch files so I've restricted it to writing groups
of files to a directory off the root and removing same.

Thanks Steven. I'll have to think about if I want to go deeper into this, and
if so, how.
