[QUOTE="Franknfurter, post: 602905, member: 48450"] In Tiger I'm using Pico in Terminal to write html pages. I don't know how to change to directories that have spaces, quotes or underscores in their names. When I type the full name, or the first 6 characters followed by ~1, Terminal just goes to a new line consisting of > and does not respond to any commands. Can I move into my long directory name_files or open a file within it? or do i have to rename everything to a name that Terminal can cope with? Advice would be gratefully received. Frank [/QUOTE]
