Cali, I dont think that's the way your suposed to use it.. / may be a UNIX way, but it's also a WWW thing so I think that will cause more problems... and since when does MEL relate so much to UNIX that it wants us to do that? anyway...THX1138, why is there 2 different Paths? in the Maya Error is shows: C:/Documents and Settings/Ob-1/My Documents/maya/scripts/GI_Joe.mel line 59: File not found. and in the Notepad you have: C:\\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\Maya\\4.5\\scripts\\GI_Joe.mel so first of all, you dont have a Ob-1 where the user is supposed to go, then you are missing a \ RIGHT after Documents...and why doesnt maya Show the 4.5 folder?? -Emo
