A couple of questions about System 7. I'm running both 6.0.7 and 7.0 on the
same drive and have a bunch of inits in the 6.0.7 system folder with aliases
in the 7.0 system folder. Even though the inits work if they are copied into
the 7.0 folder, the aliases do not work. Is this the expected operation?

I've also found that grouping an application with a document and double-
clicking on one of them does not open the document in the selected application
but instead opens the document in the associated application as well as
opening the selected application. Eg., select a stuffit document and disk
doubler expand and double-click. In 6.0.7 DDE would unstuff the document.
In 7.0 Unstuffit will open the document and DDE will launch in the background.
Is there any way to force the old action to take place? I really liked
unstuffing everything automatically by selecting everything and letting
DDE take over.

Thanks,
Mike Ching
