Perhaps the >difference in feature sets is everyhting you're talking about? My understanding is that the 'sound hooks' in the finder were for such things as opening folders, launching applications, closing windows, that sort of thing. Those sounds marked with a stylized 'f' in SoundMaster 1.6x. The actions you describe SND control being able to do are all things that do not rely on these hooks - instead, I believe, they patch the traps for the actions as startup, shutdown, beep, etc. (I could be completely off on this, as I'm just going by my feel of what trap patching is and random things I've read on the net.) So, your 'proof' actually isn't. But it is nice to know that most of the things we like to attach sounds to can be done with SND control. Where can one get it, by the way? >Jeffrey A.
