It got fixed, somewhere around As 1.6, or maybe 1.8.
But you can use
set pathToMyContainer ":" as file specification as string
and you can use it with MacOS 8.1, 8.6, 9.1, 9.2.2, and 10.1.5 (FYI - there
are *no* other versions of the MacOS worth using on any PowerPC Mac).
I can't wait to see if this trick is broken in Jaguar.
