In System 7, does the "Poor Man's Search Path" still exist, and if so, does it include the Preferences folder (and if so, where in the order)? Thanks. (I'm sure Inside Mac VI will be here any day now...) Dave Charlesworth

No, it doesn't include the Preferences Folder. Remember, the PMSP was implemented to support old pre-HFS applications that expected to find system resources without having to look in the system folder (there wasn't really a system folder back then) or at the root level. None of these applications ever expected a Preferences folder, so there's no reason to put that folder in the PMSP. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.

Yes, it exists; no, the Prefs folder isn't in it. When you get your copy of IM VI, check out the new FindFolder call, which can locate all the magic folders for you. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc." h friends and decided to have a big iced tea with dinner. It was late when we ate and when I got home I couldn't go to sleep for hours (6 AM) when I "crashed". The "down" you feel is after the insulin has lowered your blood sugar level to normal. But your pancreas is still pumping out insulin which lowers your blood sugar below normal. When your blood sugar is low, there is less for your body to use. Your body slows down to protect itself--the same way you pass out when the oxygen is low--your body is conserving energy which requires the sugar (in various forms) to move, think, type [:-)], etc. So you feel tired. The feeling before the down is known as "Sugar High"; you can get from eating cookies or candy too. Most of the energy you get from foods high in simple sugars is wasted or turned into fat (which takes energy). The best foods are complex carbohydrates (from grains and potatoes--most common sources) which have slower burn times and don't cause exterme blood sugar fluctuations. Most people find them dry and tasteless initally. Once you get used to not having a sugar blast on your toungue you'll start to taste the oats (my favorite) and nuts and spices. After a while restaurant nacho chips started tasting sweet to me! (On The Border's chips). Bill Biesty
