Hi everybody, This is my second posting here and I thank all of you for your advice on my previous questions. BTW, I decided in order to get past all the expired articles when I first started reading that I would skip from the front to the back until I hit an unavailable and then skip forward in small increments. (Hope that was useful to somebody...) Now my questions -- there are a lot, but I was holding on to see if they would be answered before I posted. First, what does everyone use to clean their screens? A friend of mine told me that there is a certain cleaner that should be used that won't harm the screen and he wasn't sure about what kind of cloth to use that won't scratch. Any suggestions? Second, when I use my Mac for vt100 emulation, I set it for wraparound. The problem is when I print out to my Imagewriter, it, instead of wrapping around to the next line, writes back over the same line. Are there any software or hardware solutions? Third, when we received 6.0.2 here, I tried to use the installer for everything. But even though the Appletalk Imagewriter was in the system folder it was not acknowledged by the installer. Is there a fix? Fourth, sometimes when I open certain text files, when I get back to the desk top, there are some newly created files: ScrapFile, UndoFile, and NewFile. What are these? Can they suppressed? Another MacWrite question: Is there anyway when opening a non-formatted text file to skip the annoying dialogs: Paragraphs or Newlines, and Naming Untitled OK...? Fifth and last, (thank you for being so patient) is there some way, perhaps through a DA, to view the creator/file type without having to go in with resedit? Please e-mail me the answers and if there are any requests I will post to th net. Because of the high traffic and the oncoming holidays I suspect that the next time I read the net I'll be greeted with 300-500 messages. My thanks in advance for any help, Franklin Myers e-mail: myers@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
