I think this should be stated in your Read Me.

David,

Thanks for the app!

I read about it at MacWorld and it's nice to have another way to
access the Applications folder... especially without all of the
detritus. <g>

In the Read Me you didn't mention that it's necessary to UNcheck the
"Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom" in order to scroll in
AppMenuBoy's popup menu (from Dock).

System Preferences > Universal Access > Zoom > Options > "Use
scroll..." UNchecked

Otherwise if a person uses Control-click to access the Applications
popup menu via AppMenuBoy in the Dock... it will not scroll but
instead will Zoom the monitors display.

This wasn't mentioned in the Read Me nor are any preference changes
allowed so I thought you would want to include this in your Read Me.

I use USBOverdrive so it's not a problem for me (strange that this
wouldn't also have Zoomed the display when using my scroll wheel with
USBOverdrive but... )

Anyway... I thought people would want to know.

Thanks again.

If I have changed the default Zoom feature please disregard this, but
I don't remember changing it.

Thank you for the tip.I'm glad you wrote me about this.

I'll do a little testing, and see if there are other settings that
affect the behavior of AppMenuBoy, and write it up in the ReadMe and
on the AppMenuBoy website.
