Because I started to use file sharing on my mac before I had figured out a good name for its HD, it's now doomed to have the name "Macintosh HD". I often mount the whole HD from other macs which also have "Macintosh HD"s. Now this seems to confuse MCL, probably because MCL doesn't work with the full zone:machine:volume:path name for the file, but only with the volume name and the path. What happens is that if I try to open a FRED window for editing a file on my (remotely mounted) HD, MCL lets me use the standard file choosing dialog, but then tries to open a file with the same pathname on the local volume. Is there a workaround for this bug? In any case: Does anyone know of a hack to change my HDs name into something more interesting (I know that it's possible to do it by booting from Sys. 6, but that won't work on a Quadra) -espen. -------------------------------------------------------------- Espen J.
