	A CDEV is a chunk of the graphic Control Panel NDA found on the Mac,
and, as of System Disk 5.0, on the IIgs. Each CDEV controls a certain aspect
of the computer - there are CDEVs for the Clock, the Modem Port, etc. People
other than Apple can write them (assuming they release how to do it, which is
fairly likely :), so, Applied Engineering might write one to control the
TransWarp gs (NOTE! this is _just_ an example), or something like that...
	Each CDEV has an icon in a scrollable list, and when you click on that
icon, the right part of the Control Panel NDA's window contains whatever that
CDEV wants to display - you can then play around with the settings in that
CDEV, then select another one, etc.

>Thanks a lot.
	No problem... :)
