The available settings are: Allow Frame Skipping for speed: Increases game performance on slower systems. Quit the Finder: Frees up extra machine memory to improve game performance. Quit other applications: Shut down any other active applications to free up extra memory and improve game performance.

Key code for extended mouse functions: Select 'Set' then press a key to use for special mouse functions during play.

See the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section of this document for details on these keys. Don't ask again: Checking this box prevents the Settings Dialog from displaying the next time you launch Mac C&C Demo.
