Here are the new LAYO options (and what most of them do).

Sort Style:	  (don't know)

Watch Thresh:	  Busy time before the watch appears (in 1/60ths of a second).

Use Phys Icon:	  Use the icon indicating the physical disk rather than
		  the disk type (e.g., the picture of a Mac II with an
		  arrow pointing to the right disk drive instead of the
		  picture of a diskette).

Title click:	  Make a double click in the title bar of a folder window
		  open the parent of the folder (hurray!).

Copy Inherit:	  On an AppleShare server, make a copy of a folder inherit
		  the privilege settings of its parent folder.

New Fold Inherit: On an AppleShare server, make a new folder inherit the
		  privilege settings of its parent folder.

Color Style:	  If non-zero, reverses the icon color scheme.  Unselected
		  icons will be outlined in black and filled with their
		  color, rather than outlined in color and filled with white.
		  (Note that this option produces a pretty scary display
		  when you first turn it on, since most icons' colors are
		  set to black.)

Max # of windows: Maximum number of windows the Finder can have open.
		  You might want to increase the Finder's memory allocation
		  if you change this.

WARNING: All of this information is unofficial, unsupported, and subject
	 to change at any time.  (I bet you already knew that.)

WARNING #2: If you modified your LAYO resource before Finder 6.0, and copied
	    it into your new Finder, do not open it with ResEdit to change
	    the new settings.  Older LAYO resources are too short, and will
	    be extended with zeros by ResEdit.  Zero is not an appropriate
	    setting for most of the new parameters.  Use the LAYO resource
	    from a real Finder 6.0.
