Several times when trying to delete a folder (with files contained in it) I've had GEM give me a message "Can't find application", then Gemini bombs out to the desktop. Anyone else seen this? Bill Sheppard

Anyone else seen this? In an effort to be helpful, and without being an expert on Gemini, I mention that I have seen that message before, in a context that was demonstrated to be the "40 folder bug".

Anyone else seen this? Nope, but I have had it refuse to delete a folder. The only time it bombed out was when I had quite a few (about 30) desk accessories installed via DC Stuffer.

I'm quite sure this isn't the case - I have TOS 1.4, and am only one level deep in one partition when it happens. It seems to be that when I see this behavior I am trying to delete a folder called "AUTO" (inside a folder called "FALCON" on my 'F' drive). Perhaps Gemini is linked in somehow to the name "AUTO" (similar to how you can't delete DCSHOWIT.PRG until you reboot without executing it)? Bill Sheppard
