That's odd.  I've done "cd"s, from the standard command prompt, to non-8.3 
directories on both NT 4.0 and NT 5.0^H^H^H^H^H^HWindows 2000.

I could imagine Windows OT (95, 98, Me) having problems with that (although I 
could also imagine the Windows OT command interpreter *not* having problems 
with that), but I'd be really surprised if Windows NT (NT 3.x, NT 4.0, W2K, 
WXP, W.NETServer) having problems with that.

Perhaps there's some other problem with that directory?
