I just noticed that when I do (directory? "c:"), I got nil. Should it return true instead? The drive can be considered as the "root" directory on that drive.

How about:

Code Select Expand

> (directory? "C:\.")

> (directory? "C:.")
true
> (directory? "C:.")
true

what newlisp version are you using ?

because I get true out of this ->

>(directory? {c:})

true

the "c:" gives an error..

For me on Win XP with NewLISP 10.1.5 :
