The recently posted file Staircase (on comp.binaties.mac) doesn't work
on my system. First of all selecting menu's didn't work, they did indeed
show up on my screen when I pressed the right keys, but selecting an item
didn't work. Seconly, with Staircase in my system the 'please insert the
disk ..' didn't work anymore, so the system hang when it asked for a disk.
I don't know whether this is a bug in the cdev, or caused by the many other
inits in my system. I've got 2 meg so memory can't be the problem I think :)
Ernst.

Open the Control Panel and click on the Staircase icon and make sure it is set to On (it should be that way already, so this step is probably not necessary). You can change some defaults, but I did not see any point in doing so. Anyway, reboot. The Staircase icon will appear on startup. To see how to use it, type <command-1> from the desktop. The "File" menu should be exposed and remain so. To make a choice, type <command-n> where n is the number of the item in the menu (not the letter "n"). To make no choice type <command-.> This works from within any application also; <command-0> chooses the DA menu. How you choose menu item 10 or greater is beyond me; e.g. you might have more than 9 DAs installed. -- Larry Baum Advanced Technology Center Boeing Computer Services uucp: uw-beaver!uw-june!bcsaic!lbaum (206) 865-3232 internet: lbaum@atc.boeing.com

Also, you don't need to reboot to activate or deactived Staircase. John.
