Attn: Someone at Apple: What is the format for the help resource that you insert into your application so that when balloon help is "on" and you point at your app, a bubble comes up telling you what the application does? It's in the System 7.0b4 patch files, "Cache" and "SerialINIT," yet I nuked them (and can't find this particular resource anywhere) when I put a different version of System 7.0 on my disk. Thanks, Steve Klingsporn (I'm looking for the Pascal format -- email reply is fine -- any help would be greatly appreciated). Here's another quesiton (really quick): I noticed the resources in the System file that describe the new folders (Apple Menu Items, etc.). How does one (can one?) defina a new "special" folder that is used by an INIT or something and has a special icon (w/o pasting an icon in "Get Info")...? Is this possible? I'm writing a small background program that will take items from a folder and mail them via CommToolbox -> unix machine dialup & retrieve mail to this folder. I'd like it to be called "Mail Box," and reside on the desktop (or an alias on the desktop w/ the real thing in the System Folder).

There isn't a mechanism for adding "new" folders to the Folder Manager. Greg Marriott Blue Meanie Apple Computer, Inc.
