On the lisa running 7.0.1 if I open the 'sharing' control panel, I can enter in the 'owners name', the 'computer name' and the password, but I can't see any button that says 'START' sharing???!!! It's been a while since I have done file sharing in OS 7, but I assumed there would be a 'START' button like in OS 9. Where has it gone? Am I looking in the right place?
As for OS6, last time I used sharing on this system was about 18 years ago, so I really have no idea how to start file sharing at all under 6.
