I've been playing with all my upgraded software recently.
GS/OS- when there is a file selection dialog on the screen, and I eject a disk
and put a new one in, I hit the "DISK" button to read in the directory
from the new disk. If I hit 'TAB' instead, it goes to the next drive
even if the current disk was switched. Is this a bug, or a feature?
Also, Bill Gulstad and I have been thinking about spaces in filenames.
Couldn't space be something like lowercase '.'? Dots could be used
interchangeably with spaces. Shell programs would still work, ProDOS 8
would still work, and Desktop programs get a bonus.
Is there a problem with doing something
like this? I think it would be a nice feature, especially for people
who use Macs and GS's. Just the other day I was at CBM getting a copy
of the SCSI utilities. The salesman tried to format a GS disk with
a name of "SCSI UTILS" and didn't understand why it didn't work.
AppleWorks 3.0 - I was paging through a word processor file with the right
arrow, and I noticed that if the line ended with ,"..., (comma, quote, text)
the cursor jumped to the next line after the comma. This was very annoying
as I was deleting returns off the ends of the lines.
That's about all I've discovered so far. Besides the sad fact that I can't
use any of those new fonts cause my system disk is full. :-(
