[comp.sys.apple2] GS/OS pecularity?

lwv27@CAS.BITNET (09/07/90)

I have run into what I think is either a major misunderstanding of
terms on my part or a pecularity of the version of GSOS that I am
running.

I am using 5.0.2 which, as far as I am aware, is unmodified.

I boot into the system.disk, and then eject that disk and put another
disk in its place.  I click on the new disk's icon once, and then do
an OA-I (to get info).  Of course, the system prompts me to reinsert
the missing disk.  I decide I want to 'cancel' - one of the options on
the dialog.  The box clears and then comes up again.  So I insert the
disk it requests, and, instead of cancelling, the Get Info continues.

What does cancel mean if not cancel?

P.S.  The neat thing is that, if I put in the system.disk, click okay,
I get another box asking for the original disk.  If I click cancel there -
again, no cancel - got to get that disk in.  Then, if I put in the disk,
I still get the Icon info box.
