Hi, Last night, I was playing around with my NeXTstation. I drag my DOS diskette into the recycle icon. NeXTstep does not ask me if I really want to do it (recycle the DOS). Ok, my DOS disk was recycled. I tried to eject the disk with command-e or within the menu. It does not work. I open recycle icon, there is nothing inside there. I can't eject the disk. I open up the Sys administration manual, and go to ROM monitor, and ejected with 'ef'. Well, my question is, why can't I eject the disk w/ command-e or within the menu after recycle it? Why does not NeXTStep ask me if I really want to do it ? Thank you. BTW: I love this machine!! Thanks to Stan and eps. -- Mul | Alt. address: sulistio@sutro.sfsu.edu sulistio@futon.sfsu.edu | sulistio@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu #include "std/disclaimer.h" | mul@wet.UUCP (UUCP address) ************************************************************************

Sulistio Muljadi has problems ejecting a DOS disk ...
>> It does not work.
What happened was is that some other program (most likely Terminal by
having it as the current directory) was using the disk. 2.0 seems to
have a bug in that it does not put up a window when it refuses to
chuck a DOS disk, as it does for Unix disks (floppy or optical). When
the disk is not in use, dumping it in the trash and command-e will
eject it.
