Gregg, Here's a few lines from my UserStartup*Dan (the * is really a dot [option-8]). MPW loads all the files whose name begins with UserStartup when it starts. This way you can have your own 'autoexec' files which don't get overwritten when<g> Apple releases a new version of MPW. AddMenu Dunes 'Top of Window/-' 'Find * "{Active}"' AddMenu Dunes 'Bottom of Window/=' 'Find "{Active}"' AddMenu Dunes 'Open Target/ ' 'If "{Target}" == ''; Beep; Else; Open "{Target}"; End' AddMenu Dunes 'Open Worksheet/\' 'Open "{Worksheet}"' AddMenu Dunes 'Mark Position/1' 'Mark -y ss Here "{Active}"' AddMenu Dunes 'Restore Position/2' 'find Here "{Active}"' These have proven invaluable to me over the years. This makes Command-<backslash> open the worksheet and command-<space> open the window you were previously in. Command-1 and Command-2 provide a quick and dirty bookmark. Command-1 drops the bookmark and command-2 jumps back there. BTW, I haven't been programming for the Mac for the last couple of years (a Windows project has kept me away but we're almost ready to start porting the app to the Mac and I can hardly wait. The ONLY think I miss from DOS/Windows is Turbo Debugger. (Funny the one thing I really miss on the PC is MacsBug!) Aside from the SLOW compiler, I absolutely love MPW. It is one of the finest development environments I have worked in. (Some unix folks here would choke, but I haven't worked on unix before – so I can't say.) The editor is good, and the integration of tools is excellent. The debugger sucks but what the heck, just don't write buggy code ;-). Hope these help, Dan
