Hi Gene,
>>The caret is used as a character modifier in the command window - it

>>character: ignore the command aspect of the following character, which
>>is the second caret - the one that gets included in the file name. The
>>third caret, like the first, gets stripped as a command, and the '.' is
>>treated (like the second caret) as a non-command (literal) character.
