Can I join in?  Actually, System 7.0 and all the Whiz-bang thank-you 'mam
new stuff from Claris will also come with on-line help.
Afterall Matthew, don't you think we should accomodate new DOS converts

help key, I use a macro to tell me the system info (About the Finder) when
I press it.  Please don't bug me if you don't know what I'm talking about.
