I'm posting this only cuz my mail to you, Dave, came back "host unknown".

Sorry to bother you with my apparent stupidity, but I use ResEdit 2.1 and
can't seem to make my way into "pig mode". When I hold down the option key,
the "about" item disappears from the apple menu. So I pull down the menu
first, then hold down those three keys, and I get the same ole box. I know
there are a couple of "pig" alerts -- I should be seeing those, right? And
I know there's an "alternate about" box that's also an ALRT, but I can't get
that to appear either. Clues?
