Wot about summat like:

CASE STRUPCASE( !VERSION.OS_FAMILY ) OF
'WINDOWS': DirSeparator = '\'
'MAC': DirSeparator = whatever the Mac directory separator is
ELSE DirSeparator = '/' ; Default to Unix
ENDCASE

CD_Dir = '..'+DirSeparator+'source'
CD, CD_Dir, current=currdir

??

paulv

p.s. I didn't check the syntax. And !VERSION.OS_FAMILY might not be the value you need,
but you get the idea.
