If you would actually like to be able to edit the files local on differentmachines then you should perform the following:

You would now edit the files locally from the briefcase folder which would besynchronized with the floppy disk. You would have two briefcases, one on eachmachine. To synchronize you would select Update All after selecting thebriefcase on the hard disk and inserting the floppy disk with the original fileson.

If two computers are connected via a network just create a briefcase on onemachine which is accessible via a network share to the other and copy the filesaccordingly.
