[Ti] Alternatives Location for the Home Folder

[David DelMonte]

thanks everyone for the ideas. It feels safer to me to take Trevor's 
approach and simply create aliases in my home directory.

Now a dumb question...

If I click on an item, and select make alias - the system creates an 
alias in the folder of the original. If I copy the alias to my 
preferred folder, it's really an alias of the alias. Is there a better 
way to create aliases?

Thanks
