Hey John,
what is this ResEdit thing?? I found the Apple Modem Tool with sherlock. But
when i try to look at it, the finder tells me that it adds functionality to
the computer and that if i want to do that then add it to the extensions
folder;which is where it already is!
So i guess that is where ResEdit comes in????
