When you're entering line items into windows like invoices and bills, the type-ahead feature is especially powerful. By typing just a few characters, you can enter a great deal of information about an item. For example, when you use type-ahead for an item in an invoice, the full item name is filled in along with item details like description and price.
Auto Email
Auto Email is a new setting in My Prefs for testing new options in emailing.
• Classic is the setting used by default and uses Applescript in a standard way.
• New Mac also uses Applescript but in a new way to work with new Macs.
• Server is a setting to Auto Send from Big Business Server.
