>> mode instead of fonts mode.]
>
> If you're moving a lot of desk accessories, add a resource of type LAYO,
> id 129, to Font/DA Mover itself. (If you feel more comfortable putting it
> in your System file instead, that will work too.) If FDAM3.8 finds such a
> resource (it doesn't matter what it contains, if anything!), it will invert
> the defaults: DA mode if no option key; fonts if option key.
>
> By the way, if it make you feel better, I really regret not adding
> disables of some sort for the "are you sure?" box, and the "Stuff added
> under Multifinder may not appear until you restart" box. However, for the
> adventurous at heart, I left the Macsbug symbols in: you can patch out
> the calls to AYSALERT (for the "are you sure?" box) in REMOVEDACCS
> and REMOVEFONTS, and the first call to DOALERT in COPYFONTS and COPYDACCS
> (for the MultiFinder warning box). Of course, the usual caveats apply:
> don't do this to your only copy of FDAM3.8, please don't give the hacked
> version to unsuspecting naive users, etc.

> Disclaimer: Have fun, keep backups, and be a good sport.
