But, I confess I have not put much              I could be wrong, but I believe what you have to do is create a       "shadow". On my ArcaOS system, you can right click on an object and       "Create Shadow" and it will then ask where to place the shadow (to the       Desktop) and then you have a shortcut to that obj on the desktop.               I think object oriented stuff was taken to the extreme on WPS. You       could do a lot of really cool stuff, like drag docs to the printer to       print them. And one feature I used a lot was having sort of a "work       folder" and if I opened that folder (filled with shadows), everything       in the folder was opened. I could have a "BBS" folder, with telnet,       multimail and dos shell "shadows" and when I opened it, all those would       open up.               Kev              (by no means an OS/2 guru, but I was in Team OS/2 for awhile :> )       --- Telegard/2/QWK v3.09.g2-sp4/mL        * Origin: Razor's Domain/2 BBS (1:19/50.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 15/0 18/200 19/25 33 36 50 20/4609 90/1 103/705       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 633 987 116/18 120/331 340 123/131 124/5014       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 128/2 129/305 130/803 135/392 153/7715 154/10 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 222/2 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 550       SEEN-BY: 229/616 700 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/1120 5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 250/1 261/38 100 1466 266/512 267/155 275/100 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 282/1056 291/100 111 292/854 301/1 113 123 317/3 320/119       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 387/21 25 26 396/45       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1321 712/848 801/161 189 920/1 2320/105 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 19/50 396/45 261/38 301/1 229/426           |
