I am inferring that you are happy with "dir" here -- although in an earlier posting you said: "people think "submitdir" means "the directory you submit to" (similar to "action"; someone even suggested renaming it "actiondir")" and I thus thought you opposed "dir;" if we are going to use "dir" then to me "submidir" or "adddir" seems better well "adddir" has 3 d's in a row so it's not quite as palatable as "submitdir" . . . just my two cents. (I have no problem with "dir;" but "dirname" sounds strange to me . . .) Best, C. E. Whitehead cewcathar@hotmail.com > > 2.

Where would you add text saying that it's never "auto"? -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
