All 5 are where they're supposed to be.

Thanks. I will try AS 1.6 tomorrow . (My system is very stable these days and I'd just as soon not upgrade to 9.2.any flavor until I'm ready to go to OS X.)

Remember all that fuss when people were upgrading to CarbonLib 1.3.1 and, I think, 1.4 as well? Well, because of that � and because I've never been aware of any need to do so � I never upgraded CarbonLib at all. Should I? Could this be the problem? If so, to what version should I upgrade, taking into account that I plan to stay in OS 9.1 for the time being? Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know what happens.
