Kan,

I was practicing with your infamous WHERE.BAT and I was trying to list all 
the "SendTo" directories in the NT profiles directory. I eventually 
figured out the following works:

where c:\winnt\*\send*\ /ltree

However, in the course of my experimenting, I tried this:

where c:\winnt\*\send* /ltree

Not only did it not work, I have no idea why I got the results I 
did! Obviously, it has to do with the "/" at the end of the file spec but 
why did I see "ALL" directories?

Here is the contents of the batch file:

@xxcopy /lzdl/s/h %*

Note - I got lazy and used "%*" instead of listing each of the nine 
parameters ;)
