I'm a grad student at the City University of New York Graduate Center. (Quite a mouthful, eh?) I'm sorry to say that computing here, and Mac support in particular, is horrible. The school is almost all PC, with the exception of a few Macs scatt…

Quote: Originally posted by SledgeHammer So now my question is, what is this Emacs thing? emacs is one of the great unix text editors, but don't think that it's just a text editor. The icon for emacs in some graphically enabled versions is a…

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that is basically what I've managed to do, however the Finder's unhappiness is now the problem. I can't quite nail down when/why it needs Relaunching to show the mount/unmount of the dmg, since I've now got it t…
