FUNCTION DIRECTORY:
// returns current working directory
// FORMAT: dir$=DIRECTORY()
     RETURN REPLACE$(GETCURRENTDIR$(),CHR$(47),CHR$(92))
ENDFUNCTION

dir$=DIRECTORY()+"subdirectory"
EXPLORE(dir$)

FUNCTION EXPLORE: dir$
// opens explorer in specified directory
// FORMAT: EXPLORE(dir$)
     SHELLCMD("explorer.exe "+dir$,TRUE,TRUE,rv)
ENDFUNCTION

Combined for simplicity, opens explorer in working directory

FUNCTION EXPLORER:
// opens explorer in working directory
// FORMAT: EXPLORER()
     ok$=REPLACE$(GETCURRENTDIR$(),CHR$(47),CHR$(92))
     SHELLCMD("explorer.exe "+ok$,TRUE,TRUE,rv)
ENDFUNCTION

why not using:
path$ = REPLACE$("/", "\\")

Thats to simple with REPLACE :D  :good:

Right. That's a bug in V5. Fixed in next version.
