To get from anyplace i.e "c:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd+...+" to the root directory of "c" just type "cd c:\" followed by the enter key. the command "cd C .." enter moves you up one directory level. Actually the following happens, but first note when you list a directory in a command window there are two special directories "." and "..". "." is a link to the current directory, and ".." is a link to the immediately higher directory. If you "cd .." you are changing to the immediately higher directory.
That did it. Thanks a lot. While I have you, does XP Pro not recognize hostid as a valid command? I got the info I needed by doing dir /p and getting the label but am just curious.

Alan,
See if you can get the information you need by typing ipconfig followed by Enter at the command prompt.
