LOL. Uhmmm ... (is there a smiley for slapping my forehead and saying
"Doh!"?) Of course I don't want to propagate this discussion (which I
started) further for reasons previously gone over but I guess there

desktop and the current application- and file-oriented desktop. But
don't get me started again or I'll end up in everyone's kill file!
