C'mon, Ray, give us a multiple select (or better >yet, a wildcard)! :-) How about implementing it as a MPW tool? You could give him the file names as parameters (with wildcards, hint, hint) and commands qualifiers for the options (binhex, stuff, destuff, encrypt, etc). And even better, you could run it within a script, automatically, and have the script perform other nice things (like distributing it into the right folders, cleaning up all unused files, etc). This is just the thing we're looking for, for our on-site PD servers. -- Danny Schwendener ETH Macintosh Support
