When i type in 'dir' in to the shell of my advanced computer, it gives me an error. I am certain 'dir' used to show all the directories stored in the computer. What should i do to see and access the directories?

does ls (LS) work?

are you sure that you are not in the lua prompt?

If that doesn't work, someone may have changed you aliases. Try using the full path:

rom/programs/list

Yea, i entered and exited the lua prompt just to make sure. Rebooted my (virtual) computer too, still not working. No programs in the autorun folder. strangley, when i AM in a directory, 'dir' works exactly as i expect it to.

I don't know the full path though, that is why i was using 'dir'

...which is why I posted it. Both 'dir' and 'ls' are simply shortcuts to the list program located in rom/programs.

What's the error? You may have accidentally created a file named "dir" that's being run instead of /rom/programs/list whenever your current working directory is the folder it's in (perhaps root).
