Well I might find this useful, but what I would really like to do is get all my accessories loaded from a folder. That would make the 'root of the boot' nice and tidy. Question: Is there anything wrong with auto folder programs renaming accessories? I wrote a program that does so and have no problems. I would just like to know the morals of doing so. In fact since GEM programs will be autobootable in the new TOS this could be important. _____________________________________________________________________________ / DISCLAIMER: Unless otherwise stated, the above comments are entirely my own \ ! ! !
