Footnotes

[1]

This is not a typo by the author of this documentation.

Netfiles using the Hyperwave system means that actually there is no notion of files, directories or such. Everything is an object. In order for us to be able to use it though, we think in terms of files, folders, and collections. A Hyperwave Object that has children is usually a folder. If it doesn’t have any children, it usually has a content and thus represents a file as we know it.

These inconsistencies do exist in Netfiles. Documents are delete d and favorites are rem oved.
