Is there a way, using ResEdit or whatever, to change the default settings in the MacDraw II application itself? I know I can create a template *document* with my choice of fonts, pen settings, etc., but I would really like to make these settings stick in the application itself. That way my commonly used settings would be available to me every time I openned the app. I would appreciate any suggestions, since I use MacDraw II all the time.

This means that whenever MacDraw II opens a New document it looks for a special stationary file and if it exists it uses this as the New document's template. This special file is called "MacDraw II Options" and should be a stationary type file. MacDraw II looks for it in your default folder, then in the system folder, then in a folder called "Claris" in the system folder (a good place to squirrel away other Claris files like our dictionaries). I think this will accomplish what you are asking for without mucking with the Application directly. Claris Corp. | Michael R.

Yes. I used ResEdit to change the default Fonts in the font menu. I may have done some other customization--I don't remember--it was a long time ago. -shabtai
