What you are referring to is called Hand Off II. This allows you to make a bundle (if that is what they call it) of similar items in a hierarchial menu. Another way of using this is if, for example, you always launch MS Word, Excel, and MacDraw II to do your Wednesday work, you can bundle your Wednesday work, you can bundle them under Wednesday and select that item (like your "Games" menu item) and they all launch! You can also have this program Hand-off all MacWrite document to MS Word. This was the only thing that the original version did and it was worth it without the additional launching capabilities. Either the launching or the handing-off is worth the price of admission (IMHO)! -- +--------------------------+---------------------------------------+ / Patrick Hoepfner | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center \ / America Online: PatrickH9 | Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov \ +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
