now i don't feel so bad! i thot i'd missed something that i shud have known was in my computer all along. system 9.2 is what all my mac's run, although most off of them - 6 of them, if i recall, are capable of os 10+. and, i like 10 but my old software that is extremely important in my business will only run on 9. so that is where i camp.
i will order/get os9helper. thanks, again.
