I imagine that some of you may have come across the same situation. One of my clients has renamed a directory -backup and now she can't do a thing with it. Any command seems to pickup the -b as an option rather than part of the name. I've tried *backup and still the illegal option error occurs. Any ideas? Thanks for your off topic indulgence in advance. -- Jim
