Like everyone else I rushed out to get my (manual-free) copy of System 7 today, spent a few hours backing up the hard drive and installing and trying to figure out which INITs and cdevs I can still use. At the end of that I have some questions: 1) No macromaker seems to come with system 7. I copied my system 6 macromaker into the extension folder, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Are my days of being able to force my editor to look like the unix jove editor over? 2) The finder find command seems very fast. However can you tell it not to present me with an icon of the file its found, but to show me where the file is (you know- something like disk20:folder1:folder2:looked_for_filw like the old findfile DA used to do). I've fiddled with views but nothing there seems promising. 3) I have a b/w SE/30. Can anyone tell us the technical reason why the new finder is **so** slow with moving icons? If I move say 20 icons in a finder window dwon say 3 cm, I see each one lovingly drawn in slow motion- do we have to put up with this? Maynard Handley

We no longer ship MacroMaker with System 7 (obviously). I don't think we tried too hard to make sure it remained functional, since there are other third party macro/scripting products on the market. > >2) The finder find command seems very fast.

The Finder is merely catering to this majority. -- Dean Yu Blue Meanie, Negative Ethnic Role Model, etc. Apple Computer, Inc. My opinions and so on and so forth...
