Can anyone tell me about a funny thing I've had turn up on my
Mac Plus lately. I have an invisible folder named "Applications
1". Now it used to be visible, but at this time, neither the
Finder nor Find File seem to be able to see it. However, when
I use "Disktop", it is listed as if it were a regular folder, and
I can move it around inside other folders as if it were normal.
According to MacSnoop, it has the same attributes "0010 16"
as normal folders. What is making it invisible? Actually,
if I can reproduce this condition, I have a use for it here
in some classroom programming. Can anyone explain what is happening
here, or point me to the correct reference in Inside Macintosh?
thanks...
