Re: "Play All" brings up "Move Files" dialogue

cedilla <n...@all>

Ah-ha! That's the one, Ramesh. You should add that to the Play All kb
article.

However, that gives me another problem. I added the move-to command because,
unlike 98, the send-to command only copies the file to the send-to location
rather than moving it. Is there a way I can use the send-to command to
actually send a file and not just a copy of it?

Thanks

Trevor
