Select the alias, then hit Command-R for "Reveal original" (you can find it under the File menu when an alias is selected). I believe it worked under 7.x too. If I remember right, it worked even better in 7.x, where it revealed ALL the originals from any number of selected alias (opening all relevant folders), whereas under 8 or 8.5 and up the command is only available when a SINGLE alias is selected. ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
