My current directory is "/"
So that means they are the same thing, right?
If so, why did the OS report a successful copy? It copied on top of itself?

The dot (period) means your current directory. So ./hobhse and /hobhse are likely two different places. It all comes down to what your working directory was when you did the copy. Likely your home directory. Get in and do this:
DSPCURDIR
What does it show.

I get what you're both saying... I'm just having a hard time because I cannot "see" the dir './hobhse' in navigator or when I do WRKLNK
How can I be sure they are not both the same thing?
I can do WRKLNK './directory' and WRKLNK '/directory' on ALL of my directories in the root...

Subject: IFS directory Question
So I wanted to copy an entire directory that was in the "root" of the IFS.
From the green screen I did WRKLNK '/hobhse'
Then I took option #3 (copy) and pressed <enter> (thinking I'd be prompted)
I got the message "object copied"
Joblog says "Object /hobhse copied to object ./hobhse."
I seemingly have two links to the same object? I can do WRKLNK on either one.
How do I delete the one I inadvertently created, without deleting the other?
(and why is this so confusing?)
