	I don't have the release notes in front of me but to be brief some of the 
new things in 1.2 include:
	- MUCH BETTER handling of Lock cards on things such as CDROM and Servers
	- Bug Fixes (of course)
	- A whole slew of new commands and object properties
	- a couple of other things that slip my mind.
	The release comes with a stack on new features that contains approximately 40
cards many of which contain scrolling fields.  The internal Apple docs on the 
changes are about 1/2 inch thick.
