Please put a dimmed disk into Trash..." when, in fact, there *are* no dimmed disks? The message seemed to occur after copying a file onto the disk in question, ejecting it, turning the machine off/on, and then just using the disk normally. I got rid of the problem using the old "Hold the option and command keys down while inserting the disk"-trick. I'm using the latest version of the Finder; perhaps the error cropped up because of the MS-BASIC problem I mentioned in the last message. I think someone may have already reported this phenomenon months ago, but I'm not sure. --Jeff Rosenschein -------

It turns out that the directory got trashed and the command-shift-turnon&off trick did not seem to help. I ended up trashing the directory even more on purpose by using the guided tour disk (old finder) and forced the system to realize that it was in need of repair. I said ok and it fixed itself! It's nice that the recover capability is there (if you understand what is going on) but it was tense for awhile. Jeff
