Just to expand a bit on what Darren already said: Any file or directory whose name begins with a . (like .pan2) is 'hidden'. To see it you may need to change the settings in your GUI file browser. From a command line prompt you would type 'ls -a ~/.pan2' where ls is short for 'list' and -a means 'all' and ~ is short for your home directory; i.e. 'list all files and directories in my home directory, even if hidden'. Command-line modifier flags in *nix begin with - or -- instead of / as in Windows. There are actually great similarities in the command-line syntax because Bill stol...um, borrowed from *nix extensively. (Not extensively enough, sadly.) Try 'man ls' and 'man bash' for starters. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
