You're right, of course, and thanks - excuse my partial dyslexia. Hope I
haven't caused too many Listers to go looking for version 2.3.1. Any comments
about Resourceror? Pro/Con?

I had forgotten about that work-a-round and, since I usually have something on
the clipboard when I go to ResEdit, it hasn't been that much of a problem.

Incidentally, in recent FBII compiles I occasionally get a resource error -194
and have to reboot for FB to find the Resource File. I think STAZ said to
turn-off the file sharing extension and something else to resolve that issue;
I did and it was gone for a long time, but I've been using different sets of
extensions and sometimes forget to switch back to my "Main Man". Well, I was
warned that the memory was the third thing to go! Memory jogger anyone?
