   1.  Good to know.  I don't use SportLight or QuickLook much, so I don't know   
   much of their inner workings.  I am more of a "having a hundred text files   
   open at the same time" kind of guy.   
   2.  I did this originally with CiderXPress and NuShrinkItX but when I moved   
   the Apps out of their original place, Virtual II took over and I didn't   
   realize what happened at first.  I also did the "Apply to all files" to   
   CiderXPress and NuShrinkItX when I    
   moved them back, which didn't change Virtual II's behaviour.  This shouldn't   
   have been application specific when applying to all as it shouldn't have   
   realized I was trying to apply control back to the original apps.  I still   
   think this is all unnecessary    
   programming maybe more on Apples account for putting such things into their   
   code.   
      
   I totally agree with Kegs being the main emulator now.  Now if I can just   
   persuade Kent to program a 640x400x256 color screen into Kegs.  That would be   
   like a christmas present to me.  :)
