Yes, I know about this.  There is a problem, however.  With the new
finder (and maybe with the old one too) MacPascal does something (to the
system heap?) that breaks the "copy one disk to another by dragging the
icon of one disc onto the other" operation.  You get a "Disk contains
locked items" message, even if neither disk has them.  Since I leave
my machine on for several days during the week and only turn it off on
the weekends (as has been recommended) I have to live with this until
the next time I start up the machine.  Can this be circumvented?

BTW, the MacPascal "master" has to remain in the drive at all times, not
only on the occasions you mention.  Otherwise the "one hundred clicks in
the editor window" worm will get you (MacPascal quits and all your work
goes down the toilet).
