There are a few interactions on the Mac between the finder and application
programs that still grate on me:
(1) select several files belonging to one application (e.g. MacWrite), and
then choose "Print" from the "File" menu -- there's no way (I am aware of) to
predict the order that the files will be passed to MacWrite for processing;
(2) as above, select several files for printing: MacWrite puts up the standard
dialog box to allow you to set the number of copies, percent enlargement, ...
the problem is that your specifications only get applied to the first file
processed (at least only the first file produces multiple copies if you are
trying for two copies of everything...)
MacWrite 4.767 anyone?
