Unfortunately, that ain't it -- Chooser, Control Panel and DiskTop are in the System File, where they belong. ----- On a related matter, I've noticed that PowerStation, under MultiFinder, tends to bomb out after I swap between several applications over a perioud of time. It's not a major catastrophe -- PowerStation doesn't have any state, and all I get is a message on the screen saying PowerStation "unexpectedly" aborted. I usually associate this message with too little memory allocated in the Get Info box, but I've upped it by 50K and nothing changes (it's 50K over the suggested amount). As I said, not major -- I just restart it, as I like to keep PowerStation in memory -- but it is annoying, and a co-worker who has it mentions the same symptoms. I own a Mac+ with 2.5 Megs, and am using the latest version of PowerStation, which in all other respects is one nice program. "You're going to burn in Hell for this." "I don't believe in Hell.
