Aha. Finder/File/Get Info is a Mac feature similar to the Properties feature of Windows. I select a file, right-click, and select Properties from the pull-down context menu. Among the properties displayed for executable files is the version. In general, I would trust what you see from Finder/File/Get Info more than what you see from selecting [Help > About SeaMonkey] on the SeaMonkey menu bar. That is because it is very easy to spoof a different version. However, I recall at least one instance of a new version of Mozilla Suite or SeaMonkey that was released to end users when the developers forgot to change the version number seen by Mac's Finder/File/Get Info and Windows' Properties. But I might be mistaken about that. -- David E.
