Can anyone provide any assistance with the following problems observed
on SEs:
1. Documents copied to the internal hard disk from disks previously
used with a Mac+ sometimes lose their creator.
E.g., MacTerminal documents can no longer find their application
when double-clicked.
2. Escape, control, and arrow keys don't work in MacTerminal. There
looks like there should be a way to fix this in the new control
panel but can't find how.
3. With switcher 5.1 (at least), trying to change up the folder
hierarchy is difficult because although you can pull down the
list of superior folders, the names of the folders are invisible.
4. With 3COM software, half the keyboard "disappears".
Sorry for the lack of detail in the above - I haven't seen them all myself.
Any ideas would be of interest.

This will correct any problems with the new keyboards.

I have had my SE for about 3 weeks now, Using it everyday, I have not experienced any problems of transfering data from my old floppies to the Internal HD. Losing creators or anything. I have 15meg on the drive. Sounds like sloppy software and BNDL's not being set right. Or a bad system File on the SE being used. 2. Of course the new keys won't work with Macterminal, is was never written to use real escape, control or arrow keys. The new Control panel won't do anything for this problem. It only affects speed and delays of keyboard repeat & wait till repeat. 3. Switcher 5.1 must have some bad copies floating around or something, I have seen several messages on local BBS's that claim that It doesn't work right with bizarre problems. I have had no problems with my copy of Switcher 5.1. Some users are blaming system 4.0, but I have been using 4.0 since it appeared with all software and no problems on a Plus and SE... 4. 3Com software, you'll never know what it will do.... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Norman Goodger @Bridge Communications !bridge2!ngg (415) 969 4400 Ex:445 Sysop-MACINFO BBS @415-795-8862 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
