Thanks to 'Bob The Schulze' for telling me what was happening. Something I forgot to mention in the original article, was the fact that at the time, my left mouse button had failed (as per Atari mouse usual). I resorted to using the ALT alternatives. It seems that Neodesk has a feature to list any filename, and guess how you do it? Yep, by pressing ALT. So the only way of launching a program is with the mouse (which is okay, as long as the mouse is working). I should have read the manual more closely. I still think Neodesk is wonderful, and I expect to be upgrading to v3 very soon.

I lost the thread on how to format your
hard drive so you can get it to be recognized by a Mac
and Spectre 128. My only hope of getting any files to
D my computer is by transferring using a hard drive, so I
erased a 60 meg disk and when formatted on a Mac it
won't read on the spectre and vice versa. Is there a
foolproof way of getting It to read and write on both?
D I don't even care if there is no TOS partition on the
disk. Does it matter which atari formatting/partitoning
software one uses on the atari end (ICD, supra)? My
chance to use the CD rom at work is going to evaporate
D replies through e-mail. I have access to most formatting
software on the Mac so if there is a fairly bulletproof method
I'd like to hear about it.
soon so if there is a fairly bulletproof method I'd like to know
about it.
