Go back to the bookstore and wait for them to get a copy of the new Mac CommToolbox manual. It's got a LOT of info that is applicable to both System 7 AND the Comm Toolbox under System 6. I believe the price is 22.95. I'm still waiting for my copies of this book AND IM vol VI. I was "smart" and ordered them directly from AW... Jack B. ham radio: wa4fib/7

The changes made for System 7 were supposed to be put into a tech note, so talk to DTS if you're interested. ==================================================================== Alex Kazim, Apple Computer No longer CommToolbox loudmouth ====================================================================

Since CTB came out BEFORE System 7, it ended up with its own manual. However, it is also on the Golden System 7 CD in DiskPaper format. =============================================================================== | Glenn L.
