Oops. Dumb me. When I replied that you can click below the names and then rubberband upward around them (if there's a little extra white space down there), I should have mentioned that that's in 6.0.x. I misinterpreted the question, but I still think it's pretty neat to know. Great for getting rid of all those Word temp files that pile up on a public machine. (I don't have System 7 yet.) Not that anyone who reads this is going to be using System 6.0.x anymore by next week, though... Ken Kreshtool kik@wjh12.harvard.edu
