I found a method that only works if you have another computer on a
network. I just transfered the new system folder over from my
7600/150 to the 8100/80 and then reentered the original control panel
settings. Works fine. Probably would work if you burned the system
folder to a cd-rom and then copied it also.

Open the Keyboard CP, click "Function Keys," and uncheck the "Use F1
through F15 as Function Keys" box. This exists in 9.0.4 too, but it
wasn't turned on by default as I recall; who knows why they turned it
on by default in the 9.1 installer, but in any case it's fixable by
this unintuitive technique. Cheers,

Apple changed the Keyboard Control panel. With OS9, you could map the
function keys to open a file or folder _ON a USB Mac_. Since your
PowerBook wasn't USB, that feature of the Keyboard Control Panel was
turned off. With OS9.1, Apple allowed this to work also on ADB Macs.
This is why you didn't have a problem before, but you do now. Both
utilities are trying to control the Fkeys. Go to the Keyboard control
panel. Click the "Function Keys..." button. At the top is a checkbox
to let the control panel control the function keys. What it says just
under that checkbox is that you can get the "raw" function keys by
hitting them with the option key held down.

If you open the Keyboard control panel and turn off "Hot Function
Keys", does that help?
With HFK enabled on my machine, F12 in Eudora 4.3 brought up the
dialog you mention. With it disabled, F12 brought up the print
dialog.

Subject: [*] QuoEdit 0.7.2r2
QuoEdit is a text editor for plain (monostyled) text that runs on
System 7 or later.
The archive includes both PowerPC version and 68K version.
PPC: QuoEdit
68K: QuoEdit.68K
Before you use, throw the unnecessary version away to the trash.
And rename the 68K version to "QuoEdit" if you are using old Mac.
Features:
Intended to provide quick operations with simple interface.
Supports AppleScript powerfully;
also your tasks can be recorded and replayed by the scripting
features.
Some menus are customizable. Also up to three menus can be added.
Supports regular expression search as well as multi-file search.
Multiple levels of undo/redo for each document.
WorldScript savvy.
This version 0.7.2r2 fixed four bugs and it is (probably) the last
free version.

Are you using Multiple Users now? Perhaps the software showing the
problem is having trouble figuring out where to store its preferences
file.
One thing to try would be to disable Multiple Users and attempt to
register the program. If that works, you may be able to move the
preferences file from the System Folder into the desired User
preferences folder [:Users::Preferences:].

Subject: Answered: 9.1 and Function Keys
Greetings.
Once again this list has come through where the vendor couldn't.
Thanks to all who answered.
The question [paraphrased]:
Why don't the F7-F12 keys map to the Eudora toolbar buttons under MacOS 9.1?
Answer:
Seems there are changes to the way the Hot Function Keys work under
9.1. To fix go to the Keyboard control panel and click on the
"Function Keys" button. Make sure that "Use F1 through F15 as Hot
Function Keys" is unchecked.
I still don't understand why this works since the F1-F6 keys (which
are the ones that worked in Eudora) are the only ones with Hot
Function Key Assignments in the control panel. Oh, well...at least
Eudora is working the way I want again.
Thanks again.

Subject: Automatic Submission of Web Page Names & Passwords
Is there a freeware or shareware app which will store my different names
and passwords to different web pages, and then recall and submit them
automatically when queried by the browser? It seems like more web pages
than ever are requiring verification, even if they're free, and I get
tired of trying to remember what goes where, and then typing it in over
and over.
I tried keychain, but it's for apps apparently, and doesn't do what I am
trying to describe.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

How do you increase the memory for finder in OS 9.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Presumably the same way you did under earlier OS versions, by changing
the SIZE resource using ResEdit.
obResedit warning: Work on a COPY of the Finder when you do this!
However, I was under the impression that Finder's memory management had
changed under 9.0, and that it did not need to be increased as it did
under 8.x.

Isn't shockwave8 an updated version of shockwave? If so, can I get rid of

Subject: new v. old G4s
fellow Info-mac readers>
In layman's language, are there many differences between the old G4s and the
new ones at entry level? The old G4 400MHz is now being sold at a reduced
price, which makes it very attractive. The HD size and the amount of RAM
does not bother me as I can easily add to and increase them. Nor does the
MHz speed. But are the RAM chips the same for both Macs?
Also, what speed difference (expressed in time) would I notice between, say,
400MHz and 500 MHz in programmes where MHz speeds really make a difference?
Thanks,

The download page for MacOS 9.1,
, contains
this statement:
-----
Important Note: The 6100, 7100, and 8100 class Apple computers
require a Mac OS 9.1 full install CD to upgrade to Mac OS 9.1. For
more information about these computers please see Other Related
Information.

This Tech Info library document:
says [edited for space]:
-----
A Mac OS 9.1 CD is required to install Mac OS 9.1 on original Power
Macintosh computers.
Affected computers
6100, 7100, 8100, 8115, Workgroup Servers 6150, 8150, 9150
The downloadable Mac OS 9.1 update available from Apple Software
Updates (http://asu.info.apple.com) is not compatible with original
(NuBus-based) Power Macintosh computers.
-----
That all seems pretty unambiguous.
That market segment is probably relatively small, so I can't imagine
this is some arbitrary limitation put in place to sell more CDs. If
they wanted to do that, they'd be better served to require iMacs to
update from the CD or somesuch.

All the bug fixes and enhancements included with MacOS 9.1 are listed here:
Whether any of them provide a reason to upgrade will depend on the
individual, but I don't think it's fair to say that 9.1's single most
important feature or fix is the Temporary Items folder handling.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a drag-and-drop utility that will parse text for you (perferably with a preference for the amount of lines)?
Let me explain...I have a list of about 1000 codes (1 code to a row).
I would like to break that up into 100 code (i.e. row) chunks. I know that I can do copy/paste, and I wouldn't mind once or twice, but I will have about 2 of these a day, and after a while, that will get tedious.
Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!
