watsona@innocent.com 17 Sep 2014, 20:02	Re: Yosemite beta Urk! Caught by my own cleverness. Forget that part about the subfolder in Manuals not showing. It DOES show up. I named it with a leading space to force it to sort to the top of a very long list of files, and then promptly forgot I had done so, and scrolled down to the Ts...and it was not there, of course. But it is sitting right at the top of FP's menu. So, back to the problem being in the newly created alias. Older aliases (aliai?) still work.

It worked as the alias should work; the sub-menu and folder showed up in FP's menu.
