I was playing with a LaserWriter IINTX that has a hard disk attached. I was trying to access fonts that I `know' are there, but to no avail. So I cobbled up a job to do something like (fonts/*) { = flush } fontnamestring filenameforall and got nothing. Also nothing if the pattern is a simple (*). So then in a flash of inspiration I did a diskonline = flush and got a false, meaning the disk is offline. So then I tried (%disk%) devmount = flush and got an invalidfilename complaint from devmount. Anybody have any ideas how to find out if the printer really knows about its disk or not? Is there any way to ask `what is the name of your disk?'. To stem the inevitable tide, the disk is switched on, and the disk is an Apple disk drive. Thanks In Advance, ........ Henry
