The finder should have an editor built in. If they can't write Text editors are about the most personality-subject apps around. If Apple gave us one, lots of us would complain about it. :-) [...] Once you found the WP program (after digging through a few folders) you have to remember wher the file was and hunt for with the lovely SFGet file. Now Your word processor really should be easy to find--if your directory structure makes it hard to find what you need, that's not Apple's fault. (IMHO and no offense meant. :-) SFGetFile is, I agree, not as nice as it could be--it would be nice if there were more user control (e.g., being able to mark a file from the Finder). Boomerang makes it nicer, but there are a few other things that would be nice. -- /=============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
