Recently while looking through the resources in the Finder, I discovered
that menu #6 of the finder is the "Training" menu from the Guided Tour.
This menu, you will recall, contains only one menu item, "Quit", which
causes the finder to exit.
It seems to me that this might be very useful in conjunction with the
SkipFinder. The question is, how to "activate" this menu? Has anyone
discovered how to do so?

It is found in all Finders I have seen (1.0 to 2.2x) and the patch works for all Finders that I have seen. Find (using FEdit) the following hex string: 7E0449ED It only appears once in the Finder, but to convince yourself of that, repeat the search using CMD-R. The changes that you should make are: Old: 7E0449ED????7005 New: 7E0549ED????7006 The two bytes represented by ???? vary from version to version of the Finder and need not be changed. I have not seen all of the new copies of the Finder (3.0 with eject and reset in the special menu), but this works in all the copies that I have seen. The Resource Editor can be used to rename this command to whatever you wish to call it or to add a key equivalent or even change the name of the menu. (I feel funny with a "Training" menu in the menu bar. Sort of like training wheels on a bicycle) Darin Adler ihnp4!tmq!darin
