If I can help, I've still got a "Leading Edge" computer with all
the SW, including the word processor. Was about to send the whole
thing to the local land-fill. I think it still works. It has
5 1/4" drives, and I don't know if they can be read in a modern
PC. My 5 1/4" drive in my Windows machine, went bad saveral
months ago and was replaced with a duplicate 3 1/2" drive.
I never used the Leading Edge WP, 'cause was using WordStar
on an old CP/M machine, and just continued to use it. I have
all the original documentation for it and the disks (I think!)

Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law
1. James' Documents / My documents / User Documents filling up hard drive :-(
I've been using XP for a couple years so I'm not exactally new.
However I discovered my hard Drive filling up and discovered I have
two folders (James' Documents and User Documents), which have the
same files as "My Documents". The files seem to be copied and not
just shortcuts. So they seem to be taking up three times the space.
I did an experiment where I created a file in "my documents", and it
appeared in the other two folders as well. Then I deleted it in the
"James' Documents", and it automatically deleted in my documents.
Since I do backups to another drive I don't need this redundancy, yet
I'd still like to be able to access the two drives over my network
from the other computer.
Am I asking too much? If I want the shared capability over the
network, must I have the second and third copy of the files. I
suppose I could just move the files to a folder on C-Drive and call it
"Stuff" and have "My Documents" empty.
Can anyone tell me if they have found a solution to this?
The Microsoft Knowlege Base was no help to me at all.
