Gerry,get "10 for X" from Aladdin Systems. It includes a lot of useful utilities that give OS 10 some of the STANDARD Mac features you mention: Windowshade X, Application Switcher Menu (ASM). The price for the disc is less than buying the items individually. Also, I found a program that puts the trash back on the desktop where it belongs. I hated the Dock at first but now that I configured it to be similar to Control Strip, it is tolerable. I have it reduced to the smallest size possible, hidden, and parked in the lower right corner.
