[comp.sys.mac.digest] POPCHAR/AutoMac III collision

Dear fellow-MacIsts,

Those of you who have downloaded the POPCHAR INIT will agree with me that it
is both a very useful thing (actually indispensable when you do scientific word
processing and just need all these weird special characters all the time) and
a very clever hack. Upon receiving Word 4.0 (which includes Automac III), we di
scovered an incompatibility between AutoMac III and PopChar: when you click in
the upper left hand corner of the screen to activate PopChar, an instance of th
e AutoMac main dialog is invoked too, which is most undesirable. Does anyone
have a clue on how to avoid this?

                       Happy Mack-ing,
