Re: mac filing system

interesting, but I'm a writer -- not a computer type. I don't know anything
about Unix. Sounds like the ideal way to use a mac is with some other
operating system.

Remember, assuming your using OS X, that at any time you can open a
Terminal window and have full access to the Unix filesystem and internals.
(MS-DOS file operations are a subset of the Unix file operations.)
Also, fwiw, you may want to check out Midnight Commander. It is a Unix
version of the Norton Commander with a lot of extra functionality. I use
it for managing my files. You will have to download it and compile it for
your Mac, but it IS doable. (There may also be some binaries around as
well.)
Also if you don't want a character interface, you may want to check out
Path-Finder. It is a Finder replacement that offer a lot of file
manipulation operations, within a GUI interface.
fyi!
