Howdy,

Thank you Pete. Since I was only going one directory deep I originally  
got away with saving the pwd and cd'ing into that directory and the  
cd'ing back to the old pwd. I've changed that in the internal scripts  
for the Drop Scripts to pushd and popd since it is more elegant. The  
scripts on line are updated with those internal scripts.

Good Luck,
