about IM,
    i'd have to agree that it is pretty useless to the beginning mac programmer
.  The only way to learn is by example (and IM is excessively lacking in that
department). now that i know most of what all the routines do, IM has become
indispensible, as i am always refering to it. I guess after all it is a
"reference manual" and not a tutorial, which is probably a pity. By the way,
MacMan for those who don't know, is inside mac on a desk accessory. You can
look up procedures et.al. by category (i.e. file system calls) or by name.
very handy to have, although the corresponding database is around 300K, this
would be extremely nice for hard disk users.
