Once again, perhaps I am not understanding your question. Many times the
drive letter if followed by two slashes followed by the directory names,
followed by the file's name.
Perhaps I don't understand the problem. If you want any more ansers, write
me off list.

Subject: [jawsscripts] RUN function in JAWS Basic
Hi everybody,
I've just ran into a problem using the "Run" function. I thought I share my
experience. The "Run" function takes only one parameter, which is a path. It
could be a name of a file, or a complete path of an internet address. The
documentation writes that this function acts like the "Run"
dialog box in the Windows. But it is not mentioned that it could not accept
long file or directory names. It could accept only the old short names. So
if I want the directory "C:\Program Files" to open, I have to give
"C:\\Progra~1" as parameter. Interesting stuff... no comment..
Just a question: How is it possible to get the short name of a file or a
directory in JAWS Basic? Do somebody have any idea?
Thanks,
Csaba
