I for one would like to establish a directory called news and store them there. My home directory is for .*rc files some small, short ramblings of my sick mind and a whole slew of directories. In any case I save a file and then move it where I want it. Since a fopen is used to save the article it is no trouble to pass a directory in as an arguement but the code checks for this. Does anyone know why you are restricted to the home directory and can't put an article in another directory that you own?
