My mistake, sorry. Though as you probably know, you can get what you 
want by --"click-get info; click get info; etc" as many times as you 
need to. I don't have Tiger yet, but do you mean that you get a 
preference check box to decide either/or? What would be cool would be 
cmd-i; cmd-opt -i and cmd-shift-I.
