That's because you're running the 3.0-compatible version of MetroTools  
(grin).

George - are you running either Engage! or an older version of MetroTools?  
or autolaunching something else that would ask for Workspace for file

If you're running MetroTools we have an upgrade that fixes that problem  
and has a lot of other fixes/enhancements.

If you're running something else, NeXT had released a workaround.
