Kevin,

The work around is quite simple. Remove the folder that Eudora created for
itself (you'll find it in the system folder). Replace it with a simpletext
document that has exactly the same name. The Eudora application stays on
the hard drive of the machine. Now each user will need a disk with their
own Eudora folder. This folder will contain the personal settings file and
assorted mailbox files, etc. By clicking on their own settings file (from
the disk) they can launch Eudora and it will use their account name,
password, etc. Hope this helps. Let me know if you run into any problems.
