    How can I unmount a disk (floppy, server, or hard disk) and remove the disk
    image from the desktop, besides dragging it to the Trash? System 6.0.5 and
    System 6.0.7 eject a disk and remove its icon from the desktop when I press
    Option-Command-E.

    This does not appear to work with System 7.0. All System 7.0 seems to
    support is Command-E, so you still have to drag an icon into the trash.


DISCUSSION

    Command-Option-E does not work in System 7.0. Command-Y has taken over that
    function.

    Select the disk icon and either choose Put Away from the File menu, or use
    the keyboard equivalent, Command-Y.
