J,

thanks, but this won't resolve all other problems which appear.

I played with that "bug" and it seems that this is not just an EXIST bug. Every funktion I tried failed by resolving the file name. I got @ERROR=3 (path not found) all the time.

I tried GetFileSize, GetFileAttr, GetFileTime, Open, Copy, Del, Dir (when entering a directory). Close and Readline make no sense.
And other enviroment vars like %TEMP%, %TMP%, %WINDIR%, %SYSTEMDRIVE%.

So, it looks like a general bug to me.

Maybe I should start a new topic "KIX REGISTRY-FILE NAME RESOLVING BUG...
