I was browsing through my ever-growing system folder and found that I had terribly little knowledge about what some of the basic system files are. So, I need you help to tell me what these files do. Indexor Backgrounder Calendar The latter two are obviously system files of some sort, but the Indexor had me puzzled. Please, please, please, tell me what these files do. Just being curious, and thinking of trashing them if they are not necessary. lots of thanks ...b.o.b...

You would have to check the file type using Get Info to make sure. It could also be a CDEV or INIT. -john- -- ============================================================================= John A.

I thought that this was only used for handling Print Monitor. I run Multifinder exclusively, but never installed Backgrounder. What exactly does Backgrounder really do? Jess Holle

If I remember correctly, 'Indexor' is the score/saved game file for Seahaven Towers, a solitaire card game. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
