	Too slow at copying files? Please tell me, IF IT EXISTS, of a program
that is faster at copying files than the Finder. FILES that is, and not whole 
disks. 
	I bet you can't do it!  While your complaint about it being too slow at 
copying files does not necessarily imply that there currently exists something
that's faster, you seem to think there's something faster.

	Please name it. I would be amazed to find something faster than the
Finder. That is my main praise of the Finder. It is as fast as hell at copying
files.  When I get the GS/OS manual, I'm going to write a file-copying NDA
and I hope it is close to the Finder's speed! (My NDA will have a few things I
have not seen in any other file NDAs, and will have a few ideas borrowed 
from other programs, including the Finder)

	You think the numbers should go in tandem?  Even if you start to do 
that, they will eventually get "out of whack," as there will be times when one 
part is revised and renumbered and another part isn't revised, and thus not 
renumbered. [Darn Sun Sparcstations! I hadda go back and make the window 80
columns and reformat everything so it doesn't come out funky on other people's
screens.. They're actually cool. I'm WAITING FOR TELNET GS so that this one lab
on campus can network their GSes and use 'em as terminals]
