Extensions
What are Extensions?
Extensions are utilities that work only within QuicKeys 2¬. An Extension looks and works just like any other QuicKeys 2 action. Extensions can be defined individually or can be part of a sequence. An Extension is a separate document so it can be added or removed without changing QuicKeys 2.
Extensions are available from CE Software and from third party developers over various electronic forums such as America Online¬, AppleLink¬, CompuServe¬, CONNECT¬ and GEnie¬.

To add an Extension, copy the Extension into the Extensions folder.
To remove an Extension, open the Extensions folder and drag the particular Extension out of the Extensions folder.
After adding or removing an Extension, restart your Macintosh.
