How are Finder Extensions accessed, if installed in this manner? Do they
show up in the menu bar of other desktop programs?
I have installed SYS 6.0 onto my ROMDisk (Ramkeeper) but put the Finder on
my harddisk and used Setstart to run it from there. It may seem like a
strange setup but I usually boot into ProDOS (since most of my time is
spent on Appleworks or ProTERM) and only run GS/OS when necessary. Having
my system setup this way gets me up and running most expeditiously and
preserves space on my ROMDisk for other things (like Timeout applications).
However, to get the Finder "Extras" to show up I had to move the folder
onto the harddrive and in the same directory as the Finder. If I left it
in my system.setup folder on the ROMDisk the "Extras" item never appeared.
