I recently acquired ResEdit 2.1, through Alley and Strange's book. For some bizarre reason, the new version includes ZOOM rectangles for nearly every window operation. Previous versions have never used this "feature," and the new version doesn't even have a toggle to turn it off I find it extremely irritating: it unnecessarily slows down the program. One thing I've always liked about ResEdit has been how crisp its responsiveness was; this new version is comparable to walking in mud, despite all the neat features. --- Robert Dorsett Internet: rdd@peyote.cactus.org UUCP: ...cs.utexas.edu!peyote.cactus.org!rdd

Well, I poked around inside the 'GNRL' resource inside "Resedit Preferences"
and lo and behold there is a field called "NoZoomRects" that you can set
to 1 and turn off the zooms. Hope that pleases you.
