Actually, if you inspect the message I sent you (it's quoted below), you'll see that the specific part of your original post that I quoted is the part about how difficult it is to find information on them, and why no one seems to explain them. I never intended to explain them to you, because I thought that someone else on the list had already taken care of that. If you're still curious, the following document explains all about the filesystem used on Unix -- and is very readable (not some obscure technical document). Please read it: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals- HOWTO/disk-layout.html This is part of Eric Raymond's "Unix and Internet Fundamentals" How-To document. Even for people who really could care less about Unix, it explains pretty much how computers work in general. I found it very informative when I first set about learning everything there is to know about computers. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/ HTH, Erik

It's because it's a very common thing in Unix, about as basic as copy and paste is in Windows. And Unix is the widest-used platform on the web, so a lot of web people are familiar with it. I'm not sure what

the

Windows equivalent is. HTH, - Erik
