Another reason for leaving the folder windows open is that they can be worked with after you've hung-up and you are off-line. In this example, we're dragging files out of various folders, that we are interested in, on to the desktop. We're making our file selection off-line, so we can call back and get them!
At this time, you can't access the files comments while off-line, only while you're on-line. But, you can still drag the file out of its folder to your desktop, while on-line. As long as you don't "Quit" TeleFinder, the desktop will be retained.
