Subject: dot files and the gui:


Hi all,

When I open my home folder through the gui, , the . (dot) files are
not visible.  I can view them in windows and through terminal, but am
wondering if there is a way to make them visible through the Mac
gui?  For instance, I've got a .profile that's dot fprofile in my
home folder and I can see it from my windows box but not when I open
my home folder /users/davidpoehlman on my desktop.

This would be quite facilitative as I could use text edit to do
editing when necessary instead of going into terminal, renaming the
file and then editing it and renaming it or going through the network
on the windows boxes.

Thanks for any and all assistance.
