If you try to shortcut by uploading to the target directory directly, then several undesirable things happen. (1) RCS will not be updated, so if you edit the file online, RCS may complain or substitute the older version. This is not a problem if you ALWAYS edit offline. (2) Your file will not be added to the "recent" database (3) modify file names in IP areas may not be supported in future updates to the system. By the way, if you are using Win95, why not give the file its correct Long file name on the local machine, then you shouldn't need to change it on CCN?

I'm trying out the new version of TeraTerm Pro for '95, I'll let you know what I think in a few days. E.D
