That is very strange...on my system, 'c:\ned' answers true (if it does
in fact exist), but 'c:\' does not.

Try "(FileDirectory on: 'c:') exists" ...it probably answers false on
your system, and that is why you get the infinite recursion.

The image is 3.4b (updated today); the VM is the current windows vm
(3.2.3); and windows is Win2k.
