That may very well be why my fiancee gets "System File is damaged" when she tries to open up her System File - she's a Suitcase addict, and I'm willing to bet she left it on... >A minor mystery: does anyone know what the "Startup" folder in the >System Folder is for? It's for defining applications that you wish to have startup automagically upon startup. Put the app (or an alias of it) in the "Startup Folder", and when you reboot it'll start right up.

If it isn't a bitmap or TrueType font, it's definitely a 2nd class citizen. People are definitely going to prefer TrueType just for the convenience factor (drag to install, double-click to examine). --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS: UNIX: Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
