    I think that's what I will end up doing.  It isn't all that hard to 
install the HCGS stack, icons, fonts, etc., but I guess for those who are 
still queasy when they open up the System folder, the script will put their 
minds at rest.

    On another topic: can I mail in a subscription to you through e-mail, or 
do you prefer the customary phone call/paper mail order form?  Our user 
group here always has the latest issue of GS+ for reference at the meetings, 
and I _really_ want copies for myself now!  :)
