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.)
