Now that I have the 0.9 (hurray!), I've noticed a (to me) vital browser feature that seems to have gone away. Used to be, if you moved a file with the "Alternate" key down, the file was COPIED instead of moved. Now, that no longer works; though holding down the "Control" key will still create a link to the original file instead of moving it. Will someone kindly tell me: 1. Is my mind deteriorating, or is this really the case? 2. Is this deliberate on the part of NeXT, or is this a bug? 3. Is this documented ANYWHERE? If so, I've been unable to find it. It sure does make the browser a LOT less useful. Even the M-computer lets you copy OR move files with its Finder. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@garcon.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: {convex,uunet}!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 244-1765

CTRL, as you noticed, will make a symbolic link, and no modifier will cause a move. Ali
