The security you talk about is so minimal it's hardly worth the trouble to even ask the user to type something. A simple solution would be to put a Scotch Post-It(tm) on your Mac, asking people to see you before using it. Simple, complete, and no bells or whistles. (The things you can do with post-its are really amazing!) As an alternative, create a document with your favorite word processing application. Put it someplace useful. Have it opened on startup. This is an electronic analog of a Post-It. You might also want to check out StartScrn, an init that puts a 'message of the day' on your screen at start time. You've got to click to make it go away. I think you can find it at sumex-aim... it was posted to comp.binaries.mac a couple of months ago. --Bob
