How to Omit Default Transport Preference Views (5/6/96)

Q: I want to omit some transport preferences that appear automatically. If I specify nil for the sendPrefs, outboxPrefs, or inboxPrefs slots in my transport preferences template, opening the slip throws -48204. What is going wrong?

A: The documentation states if you don't want to include sendPrefs, outboxPrefs, or inboxPrefs in your preferences dialog to set those slot to nil. Due to a bug in the cooresponding views for those preference items, -48204 is thrown when an attempt is made to open the views. This will be fixed in a future ROM.
