Indeed, I don't have a Mac and don't really know what the Sage App does. I guessed it was something like Sage App is to Sage console as IPython Qt console is to IPython terminal interface. > One other thing that would make this massively better.

This is easy. Virtualbox allows you to mount external directories inside a Linux VM - the Virtualbox guest additions provide a filesystem type called "vboxsf" (virtualbox shared folder) to `mount`, and device names corresponding to directories on the host's filesystem (which must be configured in the VM's parameters). -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
