I'm ICT coordianator at a school with a mac network.  We have two suites,
one with Emacs running OSX and the other with Imacs running OS 9.

My emac is on a network with several Win2k machines and I would like
to assign the same workgroup name to the Mac instead of it using

I upgraded to Tiger from 10.3.9, and now I can't drag a file, drop it
onto an app, and have the app open the file. The file just springs back to
its original position. Uh, where th' heck do I find that preference so I
can turn it back on?
