I don't know of a or this bug in the Traverse department here in W9x.
Data files stored in subfolders that are on their turn stored in and below another subfolder,
do all get also normaly updated here.
You ask flexibility and that's what Windows provides you with, by placing a full
-previously illigal dos- address between double quotation marks{long path+file names}.
However, the many keystrokes you have type each night, or when changing the Destination
Folder when having to use the Convert tool...........
