[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Command options...

jstewart@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Ace Stewart [Jonathan III]) (10/09/89)

I am interested in updating two of the programs which I own, to include
a couple more command (butterfly...)-LETTER keys. Let me see if I can
phrase this right. In Stuffit, the Unpack command has COMMAND-U attached
to it, while the Decode BinHex file does not, I would like both to have
such....the same in VersatermPRO 3.0.2, I would like it to have the
Mouse options to have a COMMAND key attached to it...advice? I have indeed
used ResEdit for various reasons, so that included will be understood in
any descriptions people can come up with...


			Thanks in advance...Ace

ResEdit won't work here, because StuffIt saves its menus in the data fork.
What you need to use is a sector-editing program, like MacSnoop or
MacTools.  Look through the data fork for the string
	Decode BinHex
Replace this string with the following:
	Decode BHex/B
and you will now be able to use command-B.

You should probably be able to use a similar technique with Versaterm, but I
don't know.  Also, Versaterm's menus might be in the resource fork after
all, but in the CODE or DATA resources.  You can use a sector-editor to
search the resource fork too.

Don't do this on an original copy, etc.
