As I understand you, you want to be able to access your OS X-created 
files while booted in OS 9, and vice versa.

This should be very easy.

1. When in OS X, create a folder called "my work" or something like it. 
Now drag it into the "Desktop (Mac OS 9)" folder that should be sitting 
on your OS X desktop. If there isn't one, find the file and make an 
alias of it on your desktop.

2. Now open a new Finder window. Drag the "my work" folder into the 
menubar of the Finder window. It will appear in the menubar of EVERY 
window now. Also drag the "my work" folder into the Dock for easy 
access.

These two moves should make it easy to locate your "my work" folder in 
OS X when you are saving. When you boot into OS 9, the "my work" folder 
will be right on your desktop, so obviously it's pretty easy to find 
there!

Two studies in "Innovation":
28-Apr-03: Apple introduces revolutionary legal music service (300,000 
downloads @ .99/ea on the first day), releases iTunes4 (by far the best 
jukebox software in the world), updates Quicktime to encode AAC audio 
(superior to MP3).

29-Apr-03: Microsoft's MSN division introduces the iLoo, a portable 
toilet with internet access. MS issues three new "critical" security 
alerts. (as Dave Barry says, I am NOT making this up.)
