Question about AmigaSHell.
« on: July 12, 2009, 04:12:25 AM »
When using the Amiga shell program, how do I navigate up to the parent directory.  I know if I type ":", then it takes me to the top, but how do I go up just one level?

Just use "/" instead of ":".

And if you want to go up exactly 2 levels you can type: //
or you can go up 3 levels with: ///
 Can you guess what //// does? :D  
You can use / at anytime in a pathname.  Sometimes I do things like ///Music/Mods/  
One trailing slash on the end doesn't really do anything so I end up inside my mods dir.

Don't forget ':' to jump straight to the root directory.

Also, don't forget the pcd script, which allows you to return to the previous directory you were in regardless of it's relation to the one you are now in (provided you went there using pcd in the first place).
