Well...I think it is losing it when it brings it from my PC disks...it
tags them all as text documents (which drives me up the wall)
and doesn't want to listen as I try to tell it otherwise. I took a
MacBinary file over and it refused to run it - said it was text...
*sigh*
I wound up using TransMac to write it to a Mac formatted disk
on my PC but there MUST be a much easier way to reassign it...
Thanks,
Mac.
