do you know why OSX treats .info files as Unix (I'm assuming), hence

Because the OS 'sees' files starting with a period (.) as system files
and hides them.

OK, good to know. There is one file in each Amiga directory called ".info" which I suppose does what ".DS_Store" does in OSX.

But each file/directory in Amiga OS can have an extension of .info. i.e. "App" would have an accompanying "App.info" file, and "prettypic.jpg" would have an associated "prettypic.jpg.info". These are the ones whose invisibility I'm curious about. Does this ring any bells?

Thanks Marc.
