[why is there no hall of fame for line eater fodder??]

Thanks to all (8 of you) who responded to my query.

The double click problem was indeed a corrupt desktop from word -- and holding
the option-command keys while exiting and rebuilding  that disk did solve the
problem. 

The inablility to customize a menu was the well known 'operator error' syndrome
it turns out that I had been using 'short menus' instead of 'full menus' and
under short menus you can't use option-command-+ -- it just beeps.

Now I tried using suitcase 1.0 and found that only 13 fonts (including the ones
in the system file) are available at any given time -- these being the fonts
found in the fonts folder in the system folder that are supposedly opened on
boot up.  I have each font family in a single file in the folder (one for
monaco, one for courier, etc ..) but I noticed that word and keycaps only
recognize 13 of them. I this a 'feature' or am I supposed to reduce the number
of files that I keep in the fonts folder by combining them??

steve.
