     I played around with ResEdit 1.2d1 which shows you the extra bits in
the LAYO resource of the Finder. I found that there is a new bit which is
labelled 'Title Click'. It is set to 0 by default. If you set it to 1, then
you can double click in the title bar of any FINDER window and the folder
directly above it in the disk hierarchy will be opened and brought to the
front. If that folder is already open, its window will be brought to the
front.
   The Max # of windows evidently allows you to up the maximum number of
windows the finder will allow you to have open at once. (seems obvious)
    As far as Color Style, I haven't played much with that but did find
that setting it to 1 (default is zero) made all the folders and icons black.
    The extra bits are labelled:
Use Phys Icon
Title Click
Copy Inherit
New Fold Inherit


Ideas as to the rest of these?
