Oh man!!!!  Wow!!! Thank you!!!!  Thank You!!!!!  and Thank You
again!!!  I grew up on an old apple ][+....followed by a //c.  The GS
is a machine I always wanted...but could not afford until now.
So.....the GS in itself is a totaly new thing for me.  And....I never
did use ProDOS....all my stuff was old DOS 3.3 stuff.  I did notice
one strange thing about the disk images too.  After I created
them...and booted back to GS OS 6.0.1....it had a bunch of options on
its icon info....like...add comment, etc.  Guess this is part of the
GS stuff thats appended to the file system that the Apple //e mode
doesn't recognize.

Thanks Again!!!!
