Whoah! I ran maclayers the other day, and had a few inits, and
addressbook 2.9.3 on my classic, when something REALLy wierd happened. . . 
A menu called 'debug' appeared in my program with such titles as 'channel1'
'channel2' etc, and 'loginport' etc. . . each command would result in 
feedback from my unix system. . . most interesting, although I really
can't tell you what it meant. . . Now, under the same circumstances, I 
can't reenact the occurence. . . What was it? Anyone have it happen to you?

It is a debug feature built into MacLayers.  It's probably not of
much general interest.  To get it, hold down one of those magic
keys (shift, command, or option--I've forgotten which) as you are
launching MacLayers.
