	No!  In Dpaint II there is the folder/directory requester and the
filename requester.  Simply click on the directory requestor (the upper
of the two) and type in vd0:
	When you hit return, it will corectly show the files in that
device (vd0:).  Then you can go into sub-directories as you normally would.
Easy as pi! (~3.14159269)

>(And what if I ASSIGN my DF1: somewhere else? Can I do it?)

I think that there is a program floating around that will allow you to
assign one device to another.  eg assigndev df1: df2:
to change your (non-existant) second internal 3.5" on a B2000 to your
external 3.5" drive.  Don't ask me for a copy - I don't have one :-(.
