Application developers write to new managers - the Connection Manager, Terminal Manager, and File Transfer Manager - to access communications tools which live in the Communications Folder inside the System Folder. These tools perform the actual communications function (e.g. a Serial Connection Tool, VT102 Terminal Tool, XMODEM File Transfer Tool, etc). These tools can be dragged in and out of the Communications Folder and become accessible (or inaccessible) to all applications that are written using the Communications Toolbox. It is currently available through APDA. It runs under both System 6.0.x and System 7.0 and will be a standard part of System 7.0. Hope this helps. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: Apple has no connection with my postings. | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Byron Han, CommToolbox Scapegoat "Working 100 hours a week and loving it!"
