I have all my documentation for my cube on an OD and have a symbolic
link to where it actually shoud go in the NeXT directory structure.

If you want all the apps to reside on the external including directory
names, no problem.   Create the LocalApps, LocalLibrary directories on
the external.  Put the applications and other stuff in those directories.

Now there are two ways to proceed.
1.  Link each file by (I can't remember which and it depends on the owner)
either <command>, <shift>, <alt> dragging the file where you want it
linked to.

A double sided arrow will appear as the pointer as opposed to the copy and
move representations.

2. You can delete those empty directories on the 400 and just link the
directories from the other drive.


I didn't do option number 2 because I kept my frequently used stuff in place.
I also didn't do it because since that directory is a link you can't put
anything in it and have it reside on the 400.
