Thanks to those of you who replied to my original query as to
what the Mock Desk Accessories are.  Just for the record, I
include here the most explanatory response I received for others
who don't know what the Mock Desk Accessories are:

>	MockWrite, MockPrint, and MockTerminal are desk
>accessories that perform many of the functions of MacWrite,
>printing a file, and MacTerminal (telecommunications software).
>The beauty of all this is, since they are desk accessories, they
>may be opened while another program is running.  You can (for
>example) create and/or edit a text file using MockWrite, print it
>using MockPrint, and dial up another computer using MockTerminal
>-- all of this without having to exit the application you were
>originally running(provided, of course, that the application
>gives you access to the Macintosh's Apple menu).
