Well, maybe all you folks who are going on at great length about Fullwrite can answer this: I created a new document with FWiP (1.0), saved it, quit, and shutdown. Next day, I double click on the document and Finder says can't find the app. Get info on the document calls it a FWP Thesaurus Document. Couldn't find anything in a fairly quick trip through the manuals. Somebody mentioned needing Word 4.0b in order to be able to kern with Word and an Imagewriter. I thought you couldn't kern at all with Word. I also receive 4.0b over a month ago. Thanks in advance. Don MacQueen macq@miguel.llnl.gov

Ashton Tate sent out an upgrade to 1.1 some time ago to all registered users. You might want to give them a call and see why they over-looked you when sending out the upgrades. 1.1 fixes the problem you describe here.

This is the (presumably) well-known "they went and set the bundle bit on the wrong files" problem with Fullwrite. It's happened with every copy of 1.0 I've seen. FWP Thesaurus, and maybe 1 or 2 other documents (I can't remember ...) come supplied with the bundle bit turned on, which is meant to be done only to the application. This is used by the Finder in the process of associating applications with documents. To fix it, you need to look at the documents supplied with FWP (excluding the application itself) in ResEdit. For each, choose Get Info, and make sure the Bundle Bit checkbox is turned off. Save the changes, and reboot, holding down COMMAND and OPTION to force the desktop file to be rebuilt. This how I fix the problem (I don't know of a simpler way). Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
