(Or am I missing something??) You can even get to unsuitcased DAs by holding down the Option key when you select 'Open'. Double click on the 'DA application' (whatever it is called now) and it will open and list the DA just like a normal suitcase. F/DAM is still useful when you need to install fonts and DAs into applications. We had to do that for the WordFinder DA for it to work with Microsoft Word 4.0. As was mentioned before, you don't need to hold down the option key when opening the DA within the application. Have fun, T.C. Wan Grad Student, Dept. of ECE, Univ. of Miami, FL
