An INIT for giving double arrowheads at the ends of scrollbars called Following seemed to work until I found out it was causing ResEdit 2.1 to crash all the time- it worked fine everywhere else. Also the Oh-So-Useful Temperament2 seems to work until it actually needs to destroy a temporary document. It gives the bullet sound then your machine crashes- and the temp file remains unkilled. Just because a thing looks like it works, it may still bite you - so what else is new? Maynard Handley
