- I am writing a Hypercard stack for students to run under System 7. Its
- purpose is to allow them to access applications while preventing them from
- messing with the desktop. (I know about At Ease, but the school district
- cannot afford it!) Closing the finder does the trick, but has the drawback
- of disabling DA's - in particular, the Chooser and the Scrapbook are needed.
- I would be grateful for ideas on how to achieve the general objective of
- locking the kids out of the desktop, but allowing them access to DA's. Would
- starting the DA's before closing the finder help? Also, what could one do to
- prevent those DA's from being closed and becoming unavailable.
