I told him that there shouldn't be any problem, and I went and tried it myself. It copies fine, but when you try to run the new copy, all of the menus appear with about 8 spaces in-between each letter in each menu item (and the title). The application still works (assuming that you don't need the menus on the end of the menu bar), and all of the command-key shortcuts still work. I checked to see what version he was running. It was MacDraw II 1.0x22. Now another questions arises: Does he have a legal copy of MacDraw II? It would seem to me that this is an experimental version, but I don't know how Claris goes about numbering its applications. If the behavior of this application is intentional, does anyone know how they did it? -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
