I think we need a patch.

I also think we may be in need of more Mac developer help if there is
going to be so much traffic about Macs on this list.

My personal interest in doing a lot of work for the Mac is quite
limited.  I say this because I foresee a problem meeting needs, and
these are Mac user's needs.  It is best to know about these things so
they can be addressed.

Trying to be helpful,
