	The file 'Finder Sounds' is part of the Sonic Finder written by
Bill Gaver (ex Apple, now Xerox). It does give audio feedback on
controls like scroll bars and actions like dragging icons and opening
folders. System release 6.0.4 has all the hooks for sonic finder in
place. (It's a long story. Apple didn't want to release Sonic Finder but
the wrong disks got set to be duplicated and by the time it was realised
it was too late.) If you have 6.0.4 all you need is the 'Finder Sounds'
file to make it work. If enough people ask Apple for it maybe they will
release it. I think this is what Bill is hoping for anyway.

Disclaimer: I've never met Bill Gaver personally but I do have a friend
who works across the corridor from him.
