Now that I have the 0.9 (hurray!), I've noticed a (to me) vital
browser feature that seems to have gone away.  Used to be, if you
moved a file with the "Alternate" key down, the file was COPIED
instead of moved.  Now, that no longer works; though holding down
the "Control" key will still create a link to the original file
instead of moving it.

Will someone kindly tell me:

1.  Is my mind deteriorating, or is this really the case?
2.  Is this deliberate on the part of NeXT, or is this a bug?
3.  Is this documented ANYWHERE?  If so, I've been unable to find it.

It sure does make the browser a LOT less useful.  Even the M-computer
lets you copy OR move files with its Finder.
