It would do things like display an "Are you sure you want to delete this file" message box (with just an OK button) in the QueryModifyFile method (fired when the unsuspecting developer clicks on the Modify button) and other developer-hostile things. Haven't worked on it much lately, but you may see it turn up at one of Whil's sessions someday.

Talk to John Gordon (a UT member). A friend of his on the east coast has a client who actually requested April Fools tricks be put in an application that his employees were using. There were some great gags, like an explosion wav that gets played, then all the objects on the form fly to the outside borders. Other things I remember were that it appeared the data wasn't saved when it really was. Moving OK buttons, etc. John could probably tell you more things that were done.
