Using Terminal I located the file asymptote.pdf at
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/asymptote/2.85/share/doc/asymptote/asymptote.pdf
(it's just a manual of a program I use, installed through homebrew)
Now, if I open Finder and look under Macintosh HD I see no subdirectory named /opt.
But the directory should be there, or not? Is it just invisible to Finder?
The file *is* there because I can open it with Adobe Reader.
Thanks

hidden....I suspect that is not your issue.
Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy and paste:
/opt
This and other directories are hidden by default. In the Finder press Command-Shift-period to toggle the display of hidden files and folders. When activated you will see them in a grey color to differentiate from others.
Thanks! I did what you suggested and I could see the /opt subdirectory and then all the path down to asymptote.pdf
I did learn something useful.
Why do you suspect this is not my issue?
Thanks again!
Maurizio
It, and some other system-level folders, don't appear in the Finder unless it's been set to; this can be done by pressing the Command, Shift, and period keys.

Thanks folks!
