I've encountered this before...especially since I started using an
icon editor that would save my modified icon file without the 'd'
(delete) protection bit set for the file.  Do a 'list' command and
check for a line like:

	tools.info                   934 ----rwed 10-Mar-90 21:02:21 
	                                        ^
	----------------------------------------|

If that 'd' is missing, then the 'snapshot' function won't re-write
your icon file with the new screen locatons.  Use the Protect command
(I *think* - I use SKsh, and it has 'chmod' ) to set the delete
protection bit ON.  Then the snapshot _should_  work.

Hope this does the trick!
