OK! Have to go and practice this and Chris B.'s tips!

That was my original purpose in "growing" the System.Log viewer. That
Partitions.UpdateBootFile (or whatever) coughed up an error message
that was too long for the viewer. You've straighten me out on _that_
issue, but it's good to know how to solve these minor navigation
problems.

I haven't really named the partitions yet. In A2, the File Manager
showed the system files being in the AOS: partition. I simply issued a
command to "mount" the FAT partition with the "DOS" handle. So the FQN
would be DOS:/some_dir/some_file.

Do things work the same way in NO?
