(See http://www.wolfram.com/support/Systems/Macintosh/FE/AppearancePatch.html) If you're saying that you replaced the OS 8.5 Appearance Extension with the one from OS 8.0, I'm surprised that your Mac works at all! BTW, if you haven't already done so, you should have a look at the OS 8.5-related stuff at http://www.wolfram.com/support/Systems/Macintosh/FE/ Good luck! sh -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Selwyn Hollis Associate Professor of Mathematics Armstrong Atlantic State University Savannah, GA 31419 USA shollis at armstrong.edu <http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
