hi nathan thanks for the quick response.
The file explorer does not navigate out of /home/user/Mydocs
so if tc vol is mounted on /media , i can only access my files in tc using xterm.

btw what is the command for launching the default media player
because mplayer can play the files in the mounted vol in xterm
and i dont want to keep mplayer. (waiting for optified version)

any help appreciated
