Does anyone out there have any idea about under what circumstances a
program's action will show up in the Workplace Shell?  I've noticed that
some file-manipulation programs will result in a change in the contents
of WPS windows -- e.g. InfoZip's UNZIP causes unzipped files to appear
(eventually); other programs (e.g. the version of compress that I'm
currently using) will cause deleted files (e.g. the .Z files) to
disappear, but won't result in the appearance of new file icons.
(Another example of the same is Timothy Sipples' AddIcon: changes don't
show up until reboot, most of the time: merely asking for a refresh of
the window from the WPS pop-up menu won't help at all.)
