???           When I was trying to bring up Quotation from the CD-ROM copy of

I am planning to do the same when (if) NeXT ever deivers the CD-ROM
drive (ordered in August!). 
I would just make a sym-link of the OxfrodQutation directory on the CD
to /NextLibrary/Reference (I now have sym-links to NFS-mounted
Documentation over SLIP)
