A tech note reference perhaps? Edwin, I don't know the format of the fvar resource, but for this task, you don't need to know it. Just do a "Get Info" on the Trash. You'll be presented with a dialog box with a check box that allows you to turn this option on and off. This, along with being able to Command-Click on a window's title to see the directory hierarchy, has got to be one of the more obscure Finder features. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
