[comp.sys.apple2] AWGS Question

dcw@goldilocks.lcs.mit.edu (10/18/90)

OK, remarkably simple question here... How come I can't open multiple
AWGS documents from the Finder all at once? Say I wan't to open
several files. For some programs I can select them all and go
File/Open and it'll launch the app - and the app will open all those
docs. AWGS won't do this. The Finder complains that I can't do it.
Solutions? Reasons? Future Updates? Thanks...

This is a feature of the Finder.  It only lets you open/print files
of the same filetype/auxtype combination, even if all of the files
would be opened/printed by the same app.

If they ever fix this problem, AWGS would work fine.  But this is
one of the many annoying things about the GS Finder.

And the universe was made clear. This explains a few other doodad
problems I've had.

  To change cell references in an AWGS spreadsheet to absolute references,
put a $ before the part of the reference (row or column) that you want to
be absolute.  E.G. a$3 will have row   3 as absolute, $a$3 will have both
the row and column absolute, $a3 will just have column a absolute.
