  Ye gads, man! Why not just hold down the Command, Option, and shift keys
when you select "Control Panel" from the Apple Menu and respond "Yes" when
it asks you if you really want to zap the PRAM? Much easier. Works very
nicely on my Mac II running the latest system software. Earlier releases 
of the system do not allow this.
