(BTW, you should be using 8.6 on that venerable Performa, unless you have to use keystroke macros in Word 2001. You take a tremendous speed and RAM hit with 9.1 on older machines unless you have a processor upgrade).
Freiluft,
Tried to email you directly (N/A) as I think this is now a very "(personal) LW Feature Request"

Regarding OS 8.6 vrs OS 9.1, a speed or Ram loss is not a problem for guys like me...
I don't use Word 2001, and except when running Photoshop Elements or LimeWire,
this old Performa is still faster than I am.
Do you think that my use of OS 9.1 on the Performa is the reason the contextual menu
does not show in LW 2.4.x with the command>click?
Increasing LW memory has no effect and I run LW with OS9.1 Base extension set;
no other programs other than AOL (for access) at the suggested "minimum" memory setting.

Would love to hear from someone who is using LW 2.4.x,
on a older Mac w/ OS 9.1 (or 8.6), and is able to command>click their way to this hidden IP feature.
