    KN> I could be wrong, but I believe what you have to do is create a   
    KN> "shadow". On my ArcaOS system, you can right click on an object and   
    KN> "Create Shadow" and it will then ask where to place the shadow (to the   
    KN> Desktop) and then you have a shortcut to that obj on the desktop.    
      
    KN> I think object oriented stuff was taken to the extreme on WPS. You   
    KN> could do a lot of really cool stuff, like drag docs to the printer to   
    KN> print them. And one feature I used a lot was having sort of a "work   
    KN> folder" and if I opened that folder (filled with shadows), everything   
    KN> in the folder was opened. I could have a "BBS" folder, with telnet,   
    KN> multimail and dos shell "shadows" and when I opened it, all those   
    KN> would open up.    
      
   I tried that on a Seamonkey web browser executable and it worked, but   
   when I clicked on the icon, it just opens the Properties dialog box.   
   Then I was reminded of that issue to. I have the Seamonkey executable in   
   a folder and when I click on it, it just opens the properties dialog   
   box, it doesn't actually execute the program. What's up with that? LOL
