On a related note, does anyone know if there's an easy way to identify the "activate areas" of balloon help? Is it plainly visible from within ResEdit? (The only sys7-aware thing I run presently is the finder, and ResEdit won't let you edit that while it's running...) Also, after having searched the "About this Macintosh..." display, I can't find anything of interest here. Unless you're talking about getting a integer value of the RAM a given application uses, rather than the standard bargraph.. Andrew --
