I have never thought about LW being programmed back then, thanks for
bringing that up.

Well, as I get in LW more and more and I have various devices /
partitions it would be alittle annoying to me. I was just wondering if
there is a symbol, special character or something I can put in to make it
display the volumes.
Oh well, John Gross (I think) has mentioned there will be ASL requesters
in LW 4.0!! :-)

I agree, IK is MORE important!

As long as I have been using LW, I have 'learned' to deal with the file
requesters. It is just that my 'needs' for files on other devices are
starting to grow.
