Question: Let's say I've created a new document group (e.g. termpaper) in the program manager and then drag a copy of an application (let's say Write or some such thing) into that folder because I'm want to create a bunch of related documents that I'm working on. Now, if I fire up Write from that group and do my business and issue a "save as" command and quit for the session. Everything is ok except that either: 1. In order for me to reopen that document later I have to futz around with the file mangler (a.k.a manager) to reopen the document. or 2. I can get the document to show up in the program group by using the copy command in the program manager and dragging the document in from the file manager What I would _like_ is for windows to be smart enough to automatically create the document icon in the document group from which I initiated the app. (like a mac does ... oops I gave myself away) so its sitting there waiting to be opened the next time 'round. Perhaps that is asking too much, but a "direct manipulation" user x-face is _supposed_ to do that kind of stuff automatically. Am I missing something? I even stooped to reading the directions and that didn't help. Thanks in advance, Marcos Salganicoff General Robotics and Active Sensing Lab UPENN Philadelphia, PA (USA)
