     This brings up an interesting point.  How are files on a flash card
managed?  There are vague hints in the tips file on AOL that seem to indicate
that if you create a \geoworks hierarchy on the flash card, the files
automagically appear in the correct folders.  Is it correct to assume that
GEOS will merge matching file systems on flash cards?

     I also seem to recal some warning that you cannot create files on a 
flash card, but instead must create them on B: and move them by hand.  Is
this also true?
