At the risk of sounding foolish ...
When I bought my Mac Plus (used, about 6 months ago) it came with a hard drive
that had lots of Free/ShareWare on it, some with documentation, some without.
I'm slowly figuring out what a lot of the undocumented stuff is and how to use
it. One of these without docs is SFScrollInit (which I have loading just
because it's there).
Now either it does something rather subtle, or I'm not very observant,
but I can't seem to figure out what it does or how to use it. Would some
kind person please give me a bit of background and usage info on SFScrollInit?
FYI, I've got a 1 Meg Mac Plus, which is about 1.5 years old, a 20Meg Dataframe
external hard drive, and am using System 4.? (I think it was the last of
the 4 series).
Thanks,
Greg
P.S.
What is this Boomerang program I've seen discussions about? Is this something
everyone should have (and if so, where can I get it)?

Have you noticed that every time you call up a Standard File dialog (e.g., by choosing Open within an application), the list of files is in alphabetical order and it is positioned with the first file at the top of the little window. Well, SFScrollInit makes the system remember where you were the last time you looked in that folder with Standard File, and puts you back in the same place. So you don't have to scroll through the list every time. Doesn't sound like much, but one can sure get sick of scrolling through the list. John Doner doner@henri.ucsb.edu

Definitely. Until I finally switched to Boomerang (replacing both SFScrollInit and SFVolinit) this little init made life a lot easier.
