- Probably wouldn't have done you much good :) I don't know about
- earlier version of the System software, but I just looked up "Map
- control panel" in the System 7 Reference manual, and it says
- "icon (fig.) 35". I looked up p. 35 and sure enough, there was a
- figure with all the standard control panel icons! That's the
- _only_ mention of the Map control panel that I could find. I also
- tried looking up "time zone", "setting" and "localisation".
- Nothing.
-
- So is there _any_ documentation on this anywhere?
