A pox on hierarchical >menus; aliases are a much better solution. Gack. Hierarchical menus forever! (Actually, "the option of hierarchical menus forever" --- it's definitely a user-preference thing). >(Speaking of improvements: the "Find" command in the Finder is >insanely great.

One annoyance: I _always_ (99% of the time) want "More Choices". I'd prefer that Find remember the choices setting, or at least of the option of remembering it... --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

I liked the old "Find File" command on the mac. So I just copied it out of an old system 6.0 file. It seems to work fine under system 7.0. Don Gillies - gillies@cs.uiuc.edu - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign --
