Thanks. I must be blind. But on reflection, what I already did is certainly faster than walking back up the 
tree every time the path needs to be checked.

OK. I had always assumed that this:
1. loaded Glib, taking time and memory.
2. amounted to the same thing anyway.

Yeah, I know, but as I didn't have access to a Windows (or VMS, etc.), version to check, I thought I'd leave

from Win32 (or VMS - but that is 16 years ago).
