Open Folder under OS9

Hi all,

I'm looking for OS9's equivalent for the OSX's "Open Folder", meaning an option to type the path I want to reach instead of the usual way of selecting the directories from a list.

Note: The directory I'm talking about is offered by external storage and is only accessible by directly typing the path. I mean it's not "hidden", but is only created on demand - no no "show hidden" options will help.

Thanks in advance,
Jean

It is not possible in OS9 or below, OS 9 unlike OS10.X is not a gui shell over a UNIX prompt. It is a full fledge gui OS and files can not be reached via a command prompt. The only way around it would be to get an old copy of apple script or the like that can understand paths. I do not remember the language it used, but apple script allowed you to make scripts like "Open file: MacHD:applications:tetris" or some such. You would first have to know the whole path anyway. Plus on OS 9 if the device is acting like a HD, you will be able to see ANYTHING on there. There are no real hidden paths or files in OS 9 except for the directory info and icon info I believe, like in XP, but these can bee seen and edited with "Resedit"
