And yes, the full path is optional under some circumstances, depending on where the files are and what your current directory is, but is given here to avoid ambiguity.

If one wants to formulate a sentence with a series of asterisk sounds (from the sound directory) and send them over the radio how would that be done as one complete series without delays or unkeys? 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
