How to change directory to a NT server [message #18474]

I am running IDL on an NT.

To move to an nt server I double click on the "Network Neighborhood" and
then select where I want to go.

I know that I can "Map a Network Drive" to a letter such as G: Then I
can use the IDL command "CD" to move to G:

Must I "Map" the network drive in order for IDL to move to it? Can IDL
somehow move to "Network Neighborhood" rather than to virtual drive G: ?

thanks-Peter Brooker

IDL> help,findfile('\\8100NTSERVER\*.*')
<Expression> STRING = ''

OK next

"8100NTSERVER" should be the full address e.g. 8100NTSERVER.ibm.de
"volume" should be the name of a volume on the NT-Server

help,findfile('\\8100NTSERVER.ibm.de\volume\*.*')
