It has some keyboard resources >that need to go into the system file, I believe. Which version of MacOS? Okay, I reinstalled the MacIvory software Symbolics keyboard software on my PowerBook G3 running System 8.6. Effects: - The trackpad on the Powerbook is not usable - The button on the Powerbook works - The Symbolics/Logitech mouse works -> cursor moves normal, left button clicks work - The Symbolics keyboard does not work - no effect on keypress - Pressing middle or right button "freezes" the cursor. Closing the underlying window (pressing command-w) frees the cursor -> the mouse works again. Rainer Joswig, "Lavielle" EDV Systemberatung GmbH & Co.
