RE: Why can't one save the Control Panel using A-Max?
 
Well, I posted the msg months ago, but final I got the answer is no.  It is 
because Mac saves some info of Control Panel to the parameter ram (battery
backup) and not to the disk.  The A-Max is clever enough to save the info to
ram.  But if you cold boot the computer, it is gone.  The only way to go around
this is to get an INIT (some program type in Mac world) to retrieve the info 
from disk which is save from a different system program (like the General and
Mouse).  However, as there is no need for a Mac owner, there is no such thing
in the PD.  Well, maybe an ST owner will have the answer, or even you can
program it yourself.
