How do you look in the \'directory.\'  Where is it?

A \"directory\" is a folder on a computer. Like C:\\Program Files\\  is one (just an example). He means a directory in your planeshift game folder.

All i have in my game folder is an icon that runs ps.

Two possibilities:
1)  You\'re looking in the shortcuts folder in your start menu.  Goto the game\'s program folder (usually under \"Program Files in Windows).
2)  You are looking in the right place, but you have some kind of psychotic option or program hiding it designed to \"help\" (but really hurts) computer newbies.  Find this and turn it off immediately.

Perhaps a good way to share things like this are for the powerful mages to choose a few apprentices to help learn.  Thus they could choose at their discretion who they shared such spell combo\'s with, and such.  They could also stifle the newer mages attempts to jump straight to complex spells without learning the simpler ones first.  Instead of teaching them the summon tree friend thingy they could tell them to practice their crystal way skills with summon arrow spell first.  Once it reaches level 10, then help them learn a new spell.  Set goals for them to acheive before helping them to the next levels.  Teach to fish instead of giving a fish. They\'ll learn more aspects of PS and RP that way.

... i take it you\'ve never heard of AO and its apprentiship system
