Thanks for your response but the problem is no longer a factor. I went to Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS/CEP/extensions and removed "com.illustrator.welcome" folder. That stopped it.
I was having a seize-up problem in In-Design upon launch. It would boot but then freeze when the "welcome" screen popped up. I also deleted the welcome screen docs from In-Design in much the same manner as described just above for Illustrator. It then ceased to be a factor.
Thanks so much,
Tony
