| ==== Path ==== | ==== Path ==== | ||
| - | * information included with a file name that tells the location of the file. How you specify a path is dependent on the operating system. In MPE, a path is filename.group.account. In VAX/VMS, a path is node::device:[directory.subdirectory.subdirectory...]filename. In UNIX, a path is directory/subdirectory/subdirectory/...filename. | + | * Information included with a file name that tells the location of the file.
