Nice. I hope on a similar fashion, you are working on a deeply nested
directory in CLI, but decide you need to do some workbench functions,
you can tell WB to open that directory window w/o having to surf
through all the dirs between the root and the one you want? (This is
something that I have wanted in WB for a _long_ time.) What about
geting an icon's info? Can this now be done with a simple arexx
script, or would you want to open the dir (with the method that I just
mentioned) and use the info menu command on the icon?
