Thanx to both of you. Reading your reply to Kevin, I wondered if the problem was simply user permissions. If you create a new directory, you should have permissions to write into it and you indeed could, so we know that's working now. But I still wonder if why it wasn't working before might be because you were trying to either move files out of a system directory (not owned by you but by root), or to copy/move files INTO a system directory. But if that was the case, doing it one at a time shouldn't have worked either, so I don't know... <shrug> Maybe it's simply an application of the observed phenomenon where you can do all sorts of things and it doesn't work, then as soon as you post a question about it, it suddenly starts working (or you then figure out what was wrong and can fix it)? You can work on it for a day or a week or a month and it won't work, then suddenly you post about it and it works! Surely, the simple act of posting a question sometimes mysteriously fix the problem, because it sure SEEMS it works that way! =:^\ -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
