EXCUUUUUUUSE me?? I realize I'm only one person, but I would bet that lots of other people would agree with me that we don't use the Finder "for everything". For file copying, sure.. (The Finder is the ABSOLUTE BEST and ABSOLUTE FASTEST file copier I've found... Being able to select files like in Wings would be nice {Don't suggest viewing BY NAME, I know about that}, but it's pretty darn good the way it is). Admittedly, if I had a hard drive, I would probably use GS/OS and the Finder a LOOOOOT more (especially if I had a RamFAST... 6 seconds to desktop??? WHEW!)... Now I use ProDOS 8 probably at least 90% of the time... That may be because my most frequently used program is ProTERM (at least 90% of my computer use lately! heh)... But I still use ProDOS 8 things a LOT. I wonder if the new selector is just like SQUIRT or is as good as ProSEL. (yeah right). As you can tell, I haven't seen it yet.. -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/
