(Lengthy instructions deleted.)
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to use the "hierDA" cdev to do all this for you?
This neat little utility attaches a hierarchical menu to the DAs under the
Apple menu, including the Control Panel. Placing the mouse over the Control
Panel on the menu brings up and second menu to the right that lists all the
cdev options that are available in the Control Panel. Just move the cursor
over and choose which one you want and the Control Panel will open directly to
that cdev.
Nice. And easy!
