At 05:44p +0000 10/26/2003, Charles Arthur didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

copy selection to folder "Edhns" of folder "Desks"
of folder "Indy Home" of disk "Daily News"

However with Panther I'm getting an error - specifically:
"Finder got an error: Can't set folder \"Edhns\" of folder \"Desks\" of
folder \"Indy Home\" of disk \"Daily News\" to selection."

OK, so I'll try duplicate... (tries)
Nope, same error. I can't even open that location. Something seems very
different about the way that networked disks are treated.

....but Aha! The Panther Finder is RECORDABLE!

which yields that the path I'm sending to is now folder "Edhns" of folder
"Desks" of folder "Indy Home" of item "Daily News" of folder "Indy1" of
folder "EDITORIAL" of folder "Network" of folder "automount" of folder
"var" of item "private" of startup disk.

Nit: that's not a path, it's a Finder reference.
What do you get if you coerce that to an alias?


-boo
Alex, I'll take Sci-Fi Comedy for 800.
A: 42.
Q: What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
