I don't think you quite understand what I want to do - I want to keep At Ease
on the Macs so that the students "automatically" go to their folder - I don't
want them to have to go to the chooser and do it manually - that is what At
Ease does. I just want to point it to their folder on the NT server (which I
of course will have installed services for Macintosh on).

As far as file conversion, most of them will be using ClarisWorks on both
platforms, so that is not an issue.
