John,

Could you please be just a bit more enlightening?

This doesn't work in Terminal OMM so neither does my script -

bless -folder9 /System Folder

Although the usage listing in Terminal makes it appear as if it would. Here's
the usage listing -

Usage: bless [options]
-bootinfo arg Path to a bootx.bootinfo file to be used as a BootX
-bootBlocks Set boot blocks if an OS 9 folder was specified
-noexec Show what would have been done, without causing any changes
-folder arg Darwin/Mac OS X folder to be blessed
-folder9 arg Classic/Mac OS 9 folder to be blessed
-info arg Print out Finder info fields for the specified volume
-quiet Quiet mode
-plist Plist format when -info specified
-setOF Set Open Firmware to boot off this partition
-use9 If both an X and 9 folder is specified, prefer the 9 one
-verbose Verbose mode


I suspect there are a lot of people on this list in the same fix I am. I'm
fairly competent with a Mac (and Applescript) or on a PC (yuck) but am a novice
at Unix. Those of you out there that know Unix please explain what you post. I
need all the help I can get and so do many others. Cryptic posts only serve to
frustrate.

John
