I've been going over some listings and I found code

like the following:

=20

"./directory/file.txt" and

"../directory/file.txt"

=20

but I've never seen the "./" and "../" things at the

beginning of the path. I've tried to google these

but had no luck. I've googled "file specification" and

"directory specification" and got a lot of hits on stuff

but nothing on what those symbols mean. So, I thought

I'd ask here....so if you wouldn't mind explaining what

they are to a newbie I'd appreciate it very much. Thank

you.
