Question on OSX and YDL on a PB

[Steven Didier]

I also have my OSX partition mounted under YDL with write 
permission--be careful. And the  ExtFSManager with read ability 
although I can create documents, load photos etc. on the OSX side and 
copy them to a Temp directory where they are then accessible.
