If you are already familiar with programming the Mac, then you might find 411 to be indispensible. This is the MPW help system that comes on ETO. Just type in the name of the routine you are interested in, press Cmd-E, and up comes a description of the routine (the same as in Inside Mac). Or press Cmd-1, and a prototype statement is entered into your source for you. Both Pascal and C versions are provided, and can be toggled via a menu item. Help on technotes, resources, and MPW commands are also provided. MacApp comes with additional help files that plug right in. I use 411 all the time, and rarely have to reach for Inside Mac anymore. The times I do are when I need to see a picture. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions
