I am so sorry I didn't stick to the Microsoft conventions, I'm ex Amiga,
we used the term folders more than directory. Your right folders are
nearly the same as directories. BUT if you type "dir" when your want to
list the contents of a "folder" instead of a "directory" you'll choke to
death with the smoke that appears from your system.
