Thanks for the info... That sounds like exactly what I need... Only problem is when I try to download the source, I get a connection failure. I've tried it with Netscape (via Classic), IE and Interarchy (on OS X). The download server won't let me connect... I'll try again tomorrow... Thanks again... --Rob On 1/8/02 4:52 AM, in article bob-0801020452590001@12-236-56-107.client.attbi.com, "Bob Bradley" <bob@chaoticsoftware.com> wrote: > In article <B8600E7A.C32%petrock99-NOSPAM@hotmail.com>, petrock99 > <petrock99-NOSPAM@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the >> info I needed via searching... >> >> I have an idea for a small utility that would work great in the menu bar >> in OS X (like the volume control or display control).
