I agree, but can live with it. * Since it's "background only", you can't have MultiFinder start it up using the "Opened Applications and DAs" option. I refuse to warp my application locations just so I can use the "Selected Items" option. Definitely! * The "sleep now" and "SetDarkness" options don't work on a IIci, Apple 2-page display with 8*24 card, running 6.0.5 under MultiFinder (only foreign INITs are Suitcase II 1.2.6 and ATM 1.2). It does kick in by timing. And worst of all, same on my IIci (6.0.4, internal video w/b&w monitor). Yanked all INITs, still no difference. My shareware fee is in escrow until Darkness becomes usable for me :-). Haven't even written the check yet. :-) -dg- -- "You can twist perceptions * Dave Goldblatt dave@interlan.com Reality won't budge..." * Diagnostic Engineering - Rush * Racal InterLan * Boxborough MA (508) 263-9929
