Okay, but will OS9 see this Documents folder when I reboot into it?
It sorta doesn't exist in OS9 ...

I'm having a problem with Classic applications not being able to
use the aliases. For example, in Photoshop 6, it just blinks when
I try to open my "Desk Drawer" folder's alias. If I want to open
from within Photoshop, I have to drag the document to the desktop
so Photoshop can see it.

Thanks for all your responses. I really do like X. I just need time
to get used to it.
