Sure, On Location is great. I have it too. But it doesn't help
me with what I asked about.

If you copy a file or a folder with On Location it brings up a modal
dialog. So it *doesn't* copy in the background, it ties up the Mac
just like a Finder-initiated copy does.

I have received a number of letters in response to my query.
And they all read on the lines of "I'd like this too. If you find out
anything, please let me know."

So I guess there is a market for that kinda thing out there.
Any takers?
