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 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 550 616 700 1016 1017 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 282/1038 292/854 298/25 26 301/1 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 19/50 396/45 261/38 301/1 229/426 317/3 298/25 14/0 229/426           |
