Thanks for your help again; > dir otf_07.ck (in D:\Chuck\examples) gives "Volume in drive D has no label. Volume Serial Number is xxxx*xxxx Directory of D:\Chuck\examples 12/10/2005 1 File(s) 0 Dir(s)" So strangely, none of the .ck documents are considered files - even though "dir D:\Chuck\examples\" produces a list of everything in the folder, including the .ck files. Also, as an experiment, let's try using absolute path: > chuck D:\Chuck\examples\otf_06.ck (using otf_06.ck here because it doesn't require external sound files) this works fine - I hear Chuck playing the file. When I try chuck D:\Chuck\examples\otf_07.ck the result is [chuck](via sndbuf): cannot stat file 'data/snare.wav' ... even though, again, that file can be found in "dir D:\Chuck\examples\data" ... and, again, *not* able to be found when trying to dir that specific file. Any ideas? I'll mess around with trying to get other examples to work, now that I know the command syntax includes "chuck [whole filename]." Thanks!
