I need help on the correct usage of GetDiskObject(). It works fine for me when I use it on a project, tool, trashcan, or drawer icon, but it won't work on a disk icon. First, what should I give to GetDiskObject as the icon name for a disk icon? ".info" will be appended to whatever I give, so if I want to get the icon for disk MYDISK: shouldn't I give "MYDISK:" as the argument to GDO(), resulting in "MYDISK:.icon" being read? (Doesn't work) Second, what is the GetWBObject() function? Should I be using this instead of GetDiskObject for disk icons? Any help would be appreciated. In return I'll send a copy of my program, which will allow you to essentially "diskcopy" a floppy into a drawer (for example copy a fred fish disk into a drawer on your hard disk) by clicking on the floppy disk icon, and a drawer icon. The floppy icon will be used to create a new drawer icon (within the drawer which was clicked on) and then all files will be copied into the new drawer. Thanks, Duncan Thomson
