If the application is running under MF then the sizes are shown, but they cannot be edited. These numbers are stored in the application's SIZE resource in its resource fork. This cannot be modified while the application itself might possibly possibly do so. Unfortunately, the resource manager does not support locking on a grain smaller than the entire fork. As for the first problem, this can be solved by always running MF. -Phil Goldman Apple Computer
