the application hangs until I respond.

We have two users, each on their own Mac, and we need to give user2
access to one of user1's directories. I put both those users in a
unique group, chgrp'ed that directory and all its files to that group
with group write permissions. I then put a symbolic link in user2's

I tried my AIMM (Classic v1.5) IM client yesterday and today and for the
first time ever it failed to connect, now matter how long I let it sit
there.  AIM 4.7 (for OS 9) continues to lock up my machine most times I

Seems that now the VPN isn't receiving the domain suffix as pushed by

I finally persuaded my aunt to use BCC when forwarding messages to
groups of people.  She uses AOL, but can't figure out how to use BCC;
she says she can't find it on her system.
