There are two "tricks" you need to know about: 1. Launch AW (3 or 4) from ProSel-16, _not_ from Finder. ProSel-16 "cleans" something up that allows macros to work without crashing. Many users have reported this. 2. To use macros in AW4 with AppleTalk enabled, apply the following patch: In APLWORKS.SYSTEM, change offset +142B from EE to 2C. If +142B is _not_ EE your version, search for EE 96 0A in that approximate area. Of course you will need a disk editor to make this change, and please do it to a _copy_ of AW4, not to the original disk.

This is >_NOT_ net-work friendly! There's a one byte patch you can make to APLWORKS.SYSTEM so that it no longer disallows macros with AppleTalk active. Please, please, please don't complain to me, Randy Brandt or Quality Computers if you end up crashing; the whole intent was to avoid problems until it could be fixed for real (which, according to Randy, would take a lot of code and a major rewrite). Anyway, if this works for you (and it happens to for me, the few times I've tried it) then great; if not, just go back to the way it was. Using your favorite disk editor, follow APLWORKS.SYSTEM and find the sequence EE 96 OA which probably starts at +142B (it does in 4.02). Change EE to 2C. That's it. Good luck! __________ Jim Parker Always yield to temptation. It may not jimp@pro-ict.cts.com pass your way again. -- Lazarus Long
