Huh? Wha..? Wait a minute....   My complaint is that Apple decided to break 
the new system by usurping a system global.  System 4.1 is the official release
system, it has components that I need in my development work, namely
the script manager (among others).  Besides, MacTerminal is not the only
program that breaks.  Many, many programs that followed the user interface
guidelines and Apple's recommendations to the letter have been broken.  
(e.g., UW, keyboard drivers, some da's, many games, etc)

I simply would like to find out WHEN Apple is planning of remedying this rather
annoyng situation.


BTW, I don't want to sound like I am gonna get an uzi and wreck Cupertino.  I
think the new system is lots better than 3.2 or the 4.0 that I got in the
last developers' update.  Its just really a drag to get blown out of the water
by Apple deciding not to "waste" a couple of more bytes of system globals.
