Then click on the Advanced button (iirc...I'm away from my classic-running mac right now) which gives you options to change the system, monitor and hard drive sleep. FWIW, on my OS X system, I set the system and drives to never sleep, since one of my external drives would shut down, then whenever I opened a file dialog, I'd have to wait for the drive to spin back up. Given it's a big old 5 1/4 " Seagate 9G drive, that took a while! -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B. Banzai, Ph.D. Bruce Johnson -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
