For alpha 2001 I get:-

 Partitions.Show ~ ==
....
IDE1#01    503MB   6 * DOS FAT16 >= 32M

OFSTools.Mount D  FatFS IDE0#01 ~ ==   D: mounted

System.Directory D:* == 
....
D:HDWD84AA.BAK/  <--- just one of the entries
....

OFSFATTools.ChangeDir "D:HDWD84AA.BAK/"  ==  { Must use "" chars}
Changing directory D:HDWD84AA.BAK/...ok

OFSFATTools.CurrentDir D: ==
Current directory D:/HDWD84AA.BAK/   <-- just to confirm 
   I find this unintuitive D: is now 2 different 'things'.

System.Directory D:* ==
......
D:PLOT40.STH/  <-- actually: IDE1#01/HDWD84AA.BAK/PLOT40.STH/ 
......

OFSFATTools.ChangeDir  "D:PLOT40.STH/" ==
Changing directory D:PLOT40.STH/...ok

System.Directory D:* ==
....
D:MG-REPOT.URL
D:APRIL-99.QRY
D:JUNE-99.LOG
D:CATTEL99.TIM
...

Edit.Open D:CATTEL99.TIM  or just  MM/MR on File name == OK
     loads D:CATTEL99.TIM 
to a viewer where you can change its name plate and save to
n-o partition.   OR
System.CopyFiles D:CATTEL99.TIM =>  FromDOSpartn ~


 ?? Can it handle DOS-fileNames ??!

Edit.Open "D:JUNE-99.LOG"   <___ No!!

This is a serious omission ? 
Reading FAT FS needs to read FAT FileNames, like previous DOS.Copy 
was able to do.
