Richard, look under Action Utilities at the top. http://poweronsoftware.com/products/actionUtilities/default.asp I have to say, I tried a demo as I was determined to stay in OS 9 (now only boot into it if I have to) and it messed up my Apple Items Menu so that it won't display subfolders. Never found a solution other than to install the OS all over again. Poweron had no answers other than those on the site. > With Win2k or any other Win OS as far as I know at start-up hitting Ctrl > A takes you to SCSI utilities where you can set all sorts of things! > Going to Control Panels on the Mac fails to show me anything > SCSI....what should I be looking for please? Doesn't that lead you to the Bios? What sort of things do you want to set? I have a SCSI zip and an Adaptec card. There is an item in Control Panels called SCSI probe but I don't think I've ever clicked on it. >>> Third not being able to d. click the status bar and get a window filling >>> the screen is a fuss though I seem to have read that there is a key >>> modifier that does this...more to remember! >> >> I think that you can do that in OS 9. > > Sorry but nope and I cannot find a key that will make this work...yet! > I have been used to this for years and it's hard to stop oneself trying > to do it! Double-click the bar to collapse the pane. The buttons to fill the screen or to go back to your set size or to collapse. >> I think it was also introduced in the >> Mac first...or was it in Photoshop for collapsing and expanding the >> palettes?

Not if you have your windows against the right hand of the screen. Try expanding your Photoshop palettes while they are docked against the side. You can't resize without moving the palette first. If you don't get the size right, you have to move it again and again. If you could resize from the left or from anywhere, you wouldn't have to move the palettes. > Dlls have never given me a problem but certainly Extensions seem to be a > source of many problems from what I read here. I have had problems with corrupt DLL's but only once with extensions and that disappeared of its own accord, luckily. As I said, they're a thing of the past in OS X.
