I use a Mac myself, though currently it is on 10.2.6. To my knowledge, Console doesn't report *everything* that happens. I believe it shows the text that is "printed to stderr" by applications. Or at least it shows a lot of OS-detected problems. For example, if the application you are launching dies because it can't find a shared library it needs, that will report in the console. Or it did with a different app I tried. As strange as it sounds, there is something else you should check, and that is whether any *other* applications also die on launch, especially ones that worked fine before. If you come to the point where anything you open tends to die immediately, that indicates an OS problem (I use this term broadly); usually saving changes in already open apps and then doing a normal restart will restore stability and let things launch then. Whereas, if only one app fails but the others are fine, then the app would be the one with the problem. -- Darren Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
