Thankyou for pointing that out Reynir. That is exactly what 
I need. I guess I need to read the full manual?

From the F1 online help:

Contents->Keys->Directory Panels

Alt-i   make the current directory of the current panel
         also the current directory of the other panel.
         Put the other panel to the listing mode if
         needed. If the current panel is panelized, the
         other panel doesn't become panelized.

Kind Regards

Keith
