Okay ... thanks. But how do I open documents from within Classic
applications? They aren't seeing my User's folder because they
are operating in OS9. I made an alias of my main document folder
called "Desk Drawer" and put it in the User's folder but unfortunately
the alias doesn't work from within Classic.

If I put the original "Desk Drawer" folder in Documents, will it disappear on
rebooting into OS9?

Don't tell me to abandon OS9 because I still can't do screenshots
yet in OSX that Photoshop can open. That's only the one thing.

Thanks in advance for anything that can clear this up in my mind.
