I agree that that the DIR command is equivalent to your syntax - and I recognise a policy decision when I hear one . . .

BUT

ZTree is far superior in functionality to DOS - and to be limited by a syntax which had the aspirations of an earlier and simpler time seems counter-productive.

Now answer me honestly - have you ever entertained thoughts of rebellion against the Microsoft Thought Police (circa 1984)??
