Classic: MacOS 9.22. (This baby is supposed to be able to run OS/X, but 
my understanding is that Claris eMailer won't run under X, and I refuse 
to give it up, because it's the best E-mail client I've ever used.)

And rightly so! The *nerve* of Apple, shipping grossly underpowered 
machines like that!

I don't be thinking so. That looks like an OS/X kind of command to me.

God bless,

Greg
