Re: OT: OSX

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I can't get the search function to work at all. In the
"file specification field" I put, e.g., hb*.* and nothing shows
up, even though I'm in the root directory for myself as a user. Finder
shows many "hits." The documentation seems to indicate hb*.*
should work in that field. In fact *.* doesn't work, even when I'm logged
into the main hard drive on the Mac. Maybe because this is a
beta?



(but my scroll bar in Finder is gone! must need to reboot).
