The "What…" button brings up this table of contents. You probably knew that already.
The "Back…" button displays information about back issues of Open Mike that are currently available. Very little of what appears in Open Mike is timely, so back issues are a good place to find additional information and resources.
The "Mikey…" button shows the Open Mike Editorial. This gives the editor a free forum to air his thoughts and his laundry. Sometimes what you see here will make sense. Other times, you might wonder what was going on in his mind when he decided to put fingers to keyboard.
XFCN Mania

XFCN Mania brings you three useful XFCNs that you can install into your MPToolBox. The following XFCNs are included: ScreenHeight returns the height in pixels of your main monitor. ScreenWidth returns the width in pixels of your main monitor. BitDepth returns the number of bits your main monitor can display (useful for checking if you can support color).
Hacker's Hangout
----------------
This month's definition of hack: you might want to applaud for this way to figure out your baud. Have you ever wanted to figure out your baud rate without going to the Communications Settings dialog? Have you ever wanted a quick way of changing it? ComSet puts up a palette that shows you your current baud rate and other communication settings. Since it is a module, you can use it in any settings document.
Iconographically Yours

A grab bag of a dozen icons, ready to install into your MPToolBox file, for use by all of your settings documents.
