using im on a mac/xp networked pair of computers. have succeeded
with preliminaries on the xp home local machine and need help now
with the real setup. im is running on the wxp machine and trying to
access the mac's storage.

this may be more of a wxp question than im but the issue is in the middle
of my process here and googling didn't help much so i thought it likely
someone here could point me in the right direction. apologies if this is
too far ot.

i've mapped my mac's storage drive to m: in wxp home and it is
accessible via explorer windows but when i try to cd to it on the wxp
home command line the prompt stays at:

c:\windows\system32>

how do i navigate to the m: drive on the command line so i can get
into the directory i need to run my im commands on?

should i stay in c:\windows\system32 and just incllude the full path
to the desired directory in my im script/commands?

what have i omitted here?

thanks for any pointers,
BabaG

After you type the cd command, just add m:
e.g.
Pete

thanks for the quick reply. that's what i did:

cd m:\imtests

and the prompt just stayed at the original c:\windows\system32
location.

i did try im using full path definitions in my command and that did
work in manipulating images on the m: drive location. i just haven't
been able to get the prompt to locate to that drive which is inconvenient
as i necessitates a lot of extraneous typng to specify network drive
locations in my commands.

thanks again,
BabaG
