I downloaded this from cco.caltech.edu. My system has no Appletalk card and
(like Steven's) no mouse card. OA-Q also causes a crash to 1010. I did get the
following commands to work - OA-A selected all my disks and OA-I popped up
info boxes on each of them (it seems to have a bug reporting the space on my
newly installed (and hence empty) 32MB partitions). After using Return to
dispose of all the popups OA-A reselects all the disks again and OA-O opens
them all (the heading of each window this time gets the disk space correct).

I think I will have to get a mouse to see what else this GUI is capable of.
