At least I have an idea what's going on now. Unfortunately, I don't yet have Prosel 16, only Prosel 8. (I've been planning on getting Prosel 16, but I'm short the $60 right now). Any thoughts on how I might recover in the meantime? I'd be perfectly happy with just being able to get a list of the files that were in the directory. If I search on the directory name with Block Warden, will that help me find them? BTW, what is an extended file, and how was it generated? All my other directories I've created recently on the disk are standard DIR type files that P8 handles fine. Any way to make them non-extended?
