I think that is the right subject (I'm not at my machine right now). Anyhow, I've been having random and bizarre Finder crashes; attempts of Mac OS to restart it have all failed, so the Mac died as a result. Nothing I could do had any effect, and after re-reading those posts about increasing the RAM to the Finder, I tried that. So far, it seems to be working (various problems have stopped the Mac from being up long enough for a full test, including, grr, hitting the insanely-designed power button while inserting a disc when stood up *pow*) and I can return to me regularly-scheduled crashes :) Quite why increasing the RAM has any effect I have no idea (anyone know) because the Finder also allocates temporary RAM, and even with 1.9 Mb of static RAM, that static RAM has been seen to be 0k free in Memory Mapper. Odd. Silly Finder. Oh well, it works now. One other thing, I've suddenly discovered that all Drag Manager-controlled drags (clippings, Finder icons, etc, but not windows themselves) can be aborted by hitting the escape key (like in Winblows) as well as dragging to the menu bar as in days of old. The iMac I'm on now, with Mac OS 8.5.1, doesn't have that, and for that matter nor did my 'Max, or so I thought. I've never added any extension to do that, as a feature or side-effect, so is this a Mac OS 9.1 feature? Heh, who knows. Anyone out there with Mac OS 9.1 might find cancelling drags so much easier now ;) Have fun. - Daniel. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
