Network path

I was searching in mailing-list how to manage network-shared dirs
(e.g.: \\computername\dir\file.ext).

Ok... it functions. But why does not function the following code?
change-dir %/computername/path/

I wouldn't expect it to work in windows console / dos box either. For
example, I tried to do CD in a dos box (console session under NT) and got
this message:
... is an invalid current directory path. UNC paths are not supported.
Defaulting to Windows directory.
Maybe change-dir depends on an OS current directory.

It is the result of a bug in the Windows run-time system. Windows
basically does not allow an application to query the properties
of the first component of /path/ on a remote directory, so REBOL
cannot verify that it is a valid directory. We will try to find
some workaround for this in the next version.

mhm... I think you are right. Infact, in windows, CD command cannot change
dir directly from a drive to another one (but change directly in "hide"
mode...):
make this test:
C: > CD D:\TEMP
C: > D:
D:\temp >
as you can see, to change a drive, in windows I must type the drive letter
(without CD command) but CD command functioned! Infact, after I run CD
command I don't see anything, but if I type drive letter, I discover that my
current directory is the directory given to CD command!
Sometimes DOS & Windows are very funny....
bye!

short answer - windows CAN change directly but you need to use the /d
parameter as in:
cd /d drive:\path

If you type cd /? you will see why Windows behaves like this - Windows has
the ability to hold a current directory for each drive.
In the pre-GUI world this was often seen as advantageous for quickly
switching file locations and doing various file ops with the drive:
parameter.
Of course no one uses the commandline in Windows any more ... do they? :-)

C:\>cd /?
Displays the name of or changes the current directory.
CHDIR [/D] [drive:][path]
CHDIR [..]
CD [/D] [drive:][path]
CD [..]
.. Specifies that you want to change to the parent directory.
Type CD drive: to display the current directory in the specified drive.
Type CD without parameters to display the current drive and directory.
Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to changing current
directory for a drive.
If Command Extensions are enabled CHDIR changes as follows:
The current directory string is converted to use the same case as
the on disk names. So CD C:\TEMP would actually set the current
directory to C:\Temp if that is the case on disk.
CHDIR command does not treat spaces as delimiters, so it is possible to
CD into a subdirectory name that contains a space without surrounding
the name with quotes. For example:
cd \winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu
is the same as:
cd "\winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu"
which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.

good switch! I used DOS from many years but I never saw that switch! (my
inattention!).
I tried "cd/?" and the switch was there!
thank you!
