[G4] Can I subgroup Apps in Aplication folder

[Jim and Micky Richter]

There is no problem in doing that with third party apps.  I have all my 
Adobe apps in an Adobe folder within the application folder, as well as 
all my internet apps, Macromedia apps, and utilities.  however, when 
you do Apple updates, Apple's updates tend to expect a certain folder 
or app within a certain place.  If I file my Applescript folder (within 
the application folder) into a subfolder called "apple extras," an 
Apple update (such as 10.2.3) won't expect Applescript in this location 
and will install a new Applescript folder in the old location (the top 
level of the Application folder).  I have seen this repeatedly with 
apps such as DVD player, IE5, Mail, Applescript, and other Apple 
bundled apps.  But, I've never had this problem with any third party 
apps (though don't quote me on this since I've found Norton Utilities 
to be somewhat finicky about location).
