Late last night, I received an e-mail from AutoPairs developer James Walker. James and I had exchanged some messages previously regarding AutoPairs working on Intel Macs. Now, he has discovered a workaround. 1. If you have a PowerPC Mac, which I do in the form of my PowerBook G4, copy the System Preferences application from that Mac to your Intel Mac. In my case, I copied the AutoPairs pref pane from the PowerBook as well, putting it in ~/Library/PreferencePanes. 2. Rename the copied System Preferences application. I renamed my copied app to "SysPref PPC AP config", so I would know at a glance what it's sitting on my desktop for. 3. Launch the renamed application. 4. The AutoPairs pref pane showed up and I was able to click on it to activate it and open its configuration window. Quitting, I switched to BBEdit, and tried out some parentheses and quotes, and it worked like a charm! Thanks, James!
