On this QuickSilver G4 with both OS X and 9.2.2 loaded I can =boot= into OS 9.2.2 -- which won't allow me to use any OS X applicatons. I can boot into OS X (10.2.4) and, unless I =start up= a Classic app, I'll just be running OS X. If I boot into OS X and then start a Classic app, the Classic "shell" (I =hope= that's an acceptable term in this context) will start and allow the Classic application to run within it -- if I want to print something, however, Classic hands the printing chore off to OS X, since in this scenario Classic isn't permitted direct access to the printer. -- Selah!
