Hi!

  Does anyone know what the password is to the Paradox Custom Configuraton 
program?  I'd like to look at it and see some of what they do.  Reply
through e-mail.

Sorry, this program is proprietary and thus password protected.  All it does
is create a file called paradox.cfg that holds any workstation specific 
parameters like what monitor or printer you have.  When Paradox starts up it
looks for this file and sets the parameters specified.  The paradox.cfg file
is a regular text file that you can look at but I wouldn't suggest making
changes to it directly.
