Slightly off-topic observation: It is sometimes frustrating that OS 9.x and
earlier OSes and applications so often spread related configuration tools in
a variety of places.

In Outlook Express 4.5, pretty much every control you needed was under
Preferences. But in OE 5.x, they are scattered in the Preferences, Tools |
Accounts and Tools | Run Schedule menus. Maddening.

Similarly, disk/file sharing controls have at various times been scattered
among multiple Control Panels as well as under the File menu.

I'm sure there's a reason for this. I'm equally sure the reason isn't good
enough.
