The "about Jaws" dialog says I have that version. This script is not
here. What the firetruck is going on here? I feel like I've just
stepped into the twilight zone. I truly do not understand this! Surely
I'm missing something--but what? This could prove to be truly
embarrassing when all is said & done. I am totally weirded out! I
don't use researchIt or aim. Maybe I'll modify the install & see if
there are some scripts that haven't been installed yet? But that truly
makes no sense!
