Disable Caps Lock
If you find yourself pressing the Caps Lock key accidentally as much as I do, note that you can disable it entirely in Mac OS X. Open the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane, click the Modifier Keys button, and in the dialog that appears, select No Action from the Caps Lock pop-up menu. You could remap it to another modifier instead, but that might make using differently configured Macs more difficult.

Corel WordPerfect 3.5.2 Updater
by Geoff Duncan 
Corel WordPerfect 3.5.2 Updater -- Corel has released an updater to WordPerfect 3.5.2, which reportedly fixes about a dozen bugs, some centered around printing envelopes. At the moment, the update is apparently only available from an overwhelmed Wildcat BBS system run by Corel; its FTP service is somewhat non-standard, and a number of Mac users have reported problems downloading and decoding the 2.5 MB update package, although I had no troubles using Fetch's "text" mode.
