At the risk of sounding ungrateful, how can we patch the System/Finder
so it behaves the same way with formatting? I looked for the copying
and formatting dialogs in System and Finder 7.0b4 (hoping Nicolai's
trick would work for formatting), but they aren't the usual DLOG or
DITL resource. Any ideas? Clues? Hints? Better yet, any patches?
