[muglo] Re: PC emulator, importing files

Simple solution: drag and drop the file to the VPC emulator, or e-mail
it to a hotmail account and download into VPC.

Slightly more complex: Using VPC preferences, share one of the OS
X-native directories (folders in OS 9 parlance) and make it one of the
drive letters in Windows. This will allow you to treat an OS X
directory as if it were a native Windows directory.

Most complex: read-the-manual

My documents and My desktop should be completely unrelated to OS X!!!

As for USB key drives being shared... you'd have to check under the
VPC preferences for details. (they'd show up as a D or E drive in all
likelihood)
