File/Folder Info Definitions

Note: This selection allows you to view information on a file or folder of your
           choosing.  It also allows you to set its Attributes by choosing the Set…
           button.

           The “Use Alias” checkbox in the selection dialog becomes active when you
           have chosen an alias under System 7.  The checkbox allows you to view and
           set the information in the alias file itself, not the target.  Remember that
           an alias of a file or folder is actually a file and is labeled accordingly.
