Thanks Steve,

I've moved things around, and have a 'limited' version of BBEdit 
'services', but not like before. It wasn't Ittec, or AliasMenu 
causing conflicts, which was good news. I moved them all of the way 
out, and restarted, no change.

I did move BBEdit and MoosePad to the first Apps folder [against my 
wishes, I might add] and they appear there, albeit, with BBEdit 
'services' in a severely truncated version of their former self. All 
I see in the BBEdit 'Services' menu is Open File and Open Selection, 
both of which I can do by right-clicking, anyway.

I DO, however, have 6 items under Net Services, 4 of which relate to 
ordering books of photos [very handy, that]...and as a firm believer 
in giving credit where it's due and i would like to congratulate the 
9-yr old responsible for that.

I love the Mac, and the OS, but I liked the 128s and 512s too, and 
part of the Mac 'thing' is we get to 'have it our way', you know, 
like a big giant electronic Wendy's hamburger. Or was it Burger King? 
Anyway, I mention my love for the platform for the benefit of those 
who genuflect before raising a hint of complaint that could be 
misconstrued as criticism of Apple. [Same people who adopt that 
'reverential' meekness, and 'silence' whilst in Banks,I'd imagine]... 
The point being if 'tweaking' the system for enhanced productivity 
works in the OS, and an update comes along [what? 4 updates in?] and 
wrecks that... whose fault is that?

The developers and 3rd-party code-writers are busting their ass to 
stay relevant,or ahead of the curve, before they get 'absorbed' (like 
SoundJam) or driven to the brink of bankruptcy, and then Apple makes 
all this 'noise' about how they've hit a 'homer' and the developers 
should 'get with the program'. So, which is it over there in the 
Valley? To be fair Apple does a great thing. Problems with 
competition, outsiders, etc, isn't new,or confined to Apple. I was at 
HP [over on California Ave, in Stanford Industrial Park] back in 
77-78, and we had the same issues. Plus ça change...
