I= am working=20 with a WebDNA 6.2 site and there is a bit of code like this:

[text]string=3D[search db=3D^webmerchant/letters.db ...

The code=20 works and even though I cannot find the letters.db file anywhere. What=20= does the '^' do in the file path? Does that usage no longer work in=20 later WebDNA versions?

Thanks.
