Did anyone get (or have) a manual for the new ProDos 16 Finder?  In
particular -- does anyone know how to change the path it uses to find an
application when a "data" icon is selected?  (explanation:  if you
select a WordPerfect document it tries to load /wordperfect/wp.sys16; if
you select an Appleworks document it tries to load
/appleworks/aplworks.system -- wordperfect is smart enough that somehow
it also gets the name of the document you selected and reads it in all
ready for editing; appleworks just gets you to its initial menu.)  That
works fine as long as everything is still on the original disks or
approximate copies thereof -- but it won't work if you put the
applications into RAM or a hard disk, since they can't have different
volume names.
