At Ease doesn't keep users out of the chooser-  I would look for another
software package.  Electronic Learning Feb. 1995 had an article comparing
various options. Here are some phone #s- AME 2.1, 800-359-4920;
Foolproof, 800-671-3999; MenuMaster, 800-443-7971; On Guard,
800-344-9160; At Ease 800-8 00-2775.  Send your smail address for a copy
of the comparison chart.  (Also check with Apple they may have changed
the problem noted above).
