Actually, "the programs" only gives you a certain subset of the programs running, that subset being the "linkable" applications. For instance, if I'm running the Finder, TheNews, and HyperCard (as I am at the moment) "the programs" will not contain TheNews. <-> Bruce Carter, Courseware Development Coordinator bcarter@claven.idbsu.edu Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725 duscarte@idbsu.bitnet (This message contains personal opinions only) (208)385-1250@phone
