I'm told that HAM can do this.  There is a new(ish) program out called
"Square One" by 'pbm software' which might be able to do this...  I
requested this as a feature for the next revision...  If you think
that this ability is a selling point, send them e-mail at
pbmsoftware@aol.com ...  I know HandOff II should be able to do this
as well, similar to the way you described for QK to do it...  Maybe we
can ask Connectix to add this ability to HOII's next revision also...
;)

Yes, I can without a doubt say that Tiles was a major mistake for CE
Software.  I bought it second hand, & _almost_ regret the $$ I paid
for it. ;)  But not quite.  I always enjoy filling up my software
shelves...  At least, until I move.

Agreed.  Someone posted a method of doing this a few days ago.  I
didn't save it, since I know just about _splat_ about Mac low-level
programming...
