Ok, Next time I will send installation instruction in a textfile, but there
are instructions online. I have tested JCRemote on Plus, SE, MacII, MacIIci
and SE/30, and it worked, but I have heard from people that there are some
problems on Plus and SE. I don't know why or when but I will check it out.

It's a known bug (feature), it will be fixed in the final. Click on the little
disk icon to move up one folderlevel.
