Press FN-F3 instead of clicking on the checkmark box.

I doubt it, but some users have run DOS utilities like Volker commander
(sp?).

I doubt this is possible. You'd have to modify the GEOS.INI file and it's
extremely doubtful that it would work since the TableClass and JTableClass
objects wouldn't have the correct spui to work.

Fortunately you rarely need the : except for changing drives. There are
five batch files for changing drives on the OGO: mca, mcb, mcc, mcd, and mce.
They change to drives A:, B:, C:, D:, and E: respectively. Also, when
changing directories you can use the / instead of \.
