I'd like to echo Wayne's praise for the upgrade.  Although I can't answer 
his question, I'd like to ask my own.  In 1.2.2 choosing "inspect" from
the menu bar brought up a sort of "inspector control panel", with some nice
functions, like "close all unmoved inspect windows".  Is this dialog still
accessable somehow?  Now choosing "inspect" just gives you the "system data"
window with a "type in" item added.  I've poked around but I haven't been
able to find the old dialog.

Thanks in advance, and thanks APDA for a nice environment!

      anonymous ftp, please let me know!
