Message-ID: <2895@utastro.UUCP> Date: 13 Jul 88 23:55:39 GMT References: <434@hodge.UUCP> Organization: U. Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 21 the summary-header says it all, really. Anything that I try to "trash" and the system won't let me, goes into that special folder. The unfortunate aspect, however, is, that I throw lots of stuff away, and when I finally do an EMPTY-the-TRASHCAN, some things get (by BAD MAGIC) put back into some folder, hidden many levels deep - and NOT ONLY AM NOT GETTING TOLD WHICH ONES, I ALSO HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE INSULT OF HAVING TO DIG AROUND FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT !!!!! my solution? rather than throwing anything into the TRASH, everything goes into my folder DELETE-THIS-AFTER-BOOTING, sitting on the DeskTop right next to the TRASHCAN !!!! (if-only-I-could-figure-out-how-to-make-the-can- appear-in-the-top-right-corner-of-the-DeskTop-after-reboot) I'm getting tricky with this Macintosh-OS ... just to keep my cool! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ send Email to: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet: 128.83.144.1) .....!ut-sally!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!werner should RASCAL be ill: werner@astro.as.utexas.edu or werner@utastro.UUCP)
