Hi jd,

As my North-Eastern friends would say, "Cool beans!"  ;-)

Also, check out java.io.File:

  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/index.html
  http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/File.html

which contains definitions for things such as path generation and
parsing routines [eg. getPath(), getAbsolutePath()] that are platform
independent (helpers for abstracting the path separator character and
"root" of the file system).  If you develop on Linux and deploy to
Windows, then you'll want to get acquainted with these methods.

good luck!
Ed
