Hello Mitch
First, my apologies for re christening you Jeff!
1)_ I've downloaded AppleWorks 6.2.4.smi. But when I try to install
It it get a message that I need Stuffit Engine 6.1 or later. I recall
being in this fix using OS 9.2.2 but darned of I can remember how I
fixed it. Any ideas? I have Stuffit Light 6.5.1.
2) I've opened Sympatico's Mac OS X web site. I open the System
Preferences and click Network. Then it says to click the Show menu,
then click Active Network Ports. I dont have a Show menu. Looking for
"show" with Sherlock was unproductive. What to do?
3) I got the printer organized. Trouble is I can't use it until I can
open AppleWorks!
4) I changed from Canada to US and as you can see no longer have
trouble with accented letters when I Hit ?
5) Finally, When I get connected to the Internet and open Netscape
and then try to open a bookmark, nothing happens. A bunch of circular
arrows whirls around in the top left hand corner but nothing opens.
Generally when this happens with OS 9.2.2 restarting with or without
rebuilding the desk top or zapping the pram cures the problem but not
with OS X.
Many thanks again.
Bob
Hi Bob.
1. Did you use Netscape to download the file? If so, it will be in whatever
folder you assigned Netscape to put downloaded files (this will be found in
Netscape's prefs). Or you can seach your hard drive for the file. If you
downloaded the same updater I did, it's called "AppleWorks 6.2.4.smi," and
you seach for it the same way you did in System 9; that is, [Apple-key]-F
from the Finder.
If you got the upgrade through Software Update, you won't have a file to
open because the software has already done all the work. Just open up
AppleWorks and it will run in OS X.
2. In OS X, printers are added and controlled through the Print Center,
which should be found in your Utilities folder.
3. Your keyboard is mapped to something other than what it should be. You
probably erroneously set it to the Canadian - CSA map, which contains the
characters you mentioned and is primarily used by francophones. Go to your
International System Preferences and make sure "U.S." is the only selection
checked under the Input Menu tab.
4. Use the "Network Port Configuration" or "Active Network Ports" option in
your Network control panel to disable the Internal Modem option in Internet
Connect. The first link MaDuff sent to you
(http://www1.sympatico.ca/help/Software/osx.html) explains how this is done.
Hope this helps,
Mitch.

Dear MacDuff and Jeff
Sorry to bother you again.
I have down loaded an Mac OS X upgrade for Apple works 6 and can not
figure out how to open it. It does not appear to be in my HD.
I have also downloaded a Max OS X upgrade for my Epson C 60 printer.
In Mac OS 9.2.2 I choose it with the chooser. How do I do this with
OS X� When I open chooser it comes from 9.2.2 and can�t recognise my
printer.
Why when I hit the apostrophe key I get � or the question mark key I
get �. Can this be prevented�. I use Eudora for e-mail.
Finally when I hit Internet connect it always starts with internal
modem and I have to switch it to built in ethernet. Is there a way to
make it stay in built in ethernet� (you know what � means!)
Bob
