Dear Advanced Mathematica Users,
I am not able to use the function NotebookOpen in Version 3. on
MacOS 8.1, and after modest investigations, I have to turn to you for
advice. What follows is an example.
Expand[(a+b)^3] >> "sample.nb"
NotebookOpen["sample.nb"]
$Failed
!!sample.nb
a^3 + 3*a^2*b + 3*a*b^2 +b^3
So I can look at the file, just not open it. Yet, further probes
indicate, at least to me, that everything is in order.
Directory[]
Macintosh HD:Mathematica 3.0 Files
MemberQ[FileNames[],"sample.nb"]
True
ToFileName /@ (NotebookPath /. Options[$FrontEnd, NotebookPath])
{Macintosh HD:System Folder:
Preferences:Mathematica:3.0:FrondEnd:Palettes:,
etc.,
:$HomeDirectory:, :$TopDirectory:}
$TopDirectory
Macintosh HD:Mathematica 3.0 Files
It seems to me that the notebook "sample.nb" should be found and
opened. Suggestions?
Sincerely,
James J. Fuite.
