Tricks & Tips

This is a small collection of undocumented features of the Macintosh America Online client.

- Pressing "cmd-option-d" either during the connect sequence, or while you are online, will produce a modem dump file of your America Online session.

- Holding down the "command" key while resizing a window which you normally cannot resize (ie: The chat window will not expand horizontally) will allow you to grow windows that you normally cannot.

- You can install the Mystery Tool and many other online tools without putting it in your "Online Tools" folder. While the AOL application is running, simply double click on the tool, or drag and drop the tool on the AOL application and it will install.

There are *many* uses for the Refresh SN List feature. Some are:

- You can update your SN list to verfiy that no one has added screen names to your account.

- If refresh your screen name list while signed on as a guest, you will gain access to the "Download Later" and "Send Later" options. Note: If you refresh your screen name list while signed on as  a guest your online database is updated to contain the screen names of the guest account.
