You know that since System 5 on you can put the list into a special
resource and then call _StartupTools?

Don't you need to create a menu bar first? But apparently it works so far...

                       ^^
What do you mean _re_built? Or do you simply mean you don't see _any_ NDAs?

I don't know the specifics right off the top of my head, but it's always a

to create an Alert Box to report the error you could change the screen
border color accordingly, or beep.

Good Luck!
