There are at least a couple of external procedures available which will do
this (the most popular is ATChooser, available in the CompuServe ACIUS
forum library).  Unfortunately, ATChooser (nor any of the others)
currently work with System 7 (because Apple changed something);
fortunately, Tim Sullivan, the author, expects to have a new version in a
week or so.
