This looked very promising but when I downloaded it it wouldn't
do anything but display a menu bar. Several of the menu items are replicated
(2 entries: plain & with "..." suffix) and selecting them results in
a "window doesn't understand" message - there is no window visible.
I dropped it on my copy of FaceSpan (3.0) but source was not available
(that's acceptable) - any idea why it didn't work?

I did something similar to create "Remote Finder" for managing our
