It's a CDEV, i.e. a control panel device, like QuicKeys or General or Mouse
or Color or Pyro!.  You select and control them via the Control Panel (of
course, they must be in your System Folder to work).  Some of them (like
QuicKeys, Pyro! and CheapBeep) are also loaded in as INITs at boot-up.

                        remain a Republican when there's no money in it.
                        And things *are* looking grim on the financial
                        front.  Even worse for the President, they're
                        getting confusing."
