I have an FB II application that stores its preferences in a file that it finds using the following code: PrefVol = SYSTEM(_aplVol) PrefFile$ = "MovieTools Prefs" OPEN "I",1,PrefFile$,,PrefVol This works fine under OS 9 and earlier, but doesn't work under OS X/Classic. I'm still stuck in the stone age, and don't presently have access to an OS X machine for testing. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to make this work under OS X/Classic? Thanks, Lon McQuillin
