   yep! i learned enough of REXX to have some scripts that created launch icons   
   for my bbs nodes... by creating them procedurally, i knew their name and so   
   could trigger them procedurally as well... or just click on them... i had   
   something for the mail tossing routine such that when it was running, a mailbox   
    with mail in it was displayed... when it was not running, the mail box icon   
   was invisible... it was pretty neat when i first did it... later, i removed it   
   and just let the process run without trying to trigger the icon to show...
