Hi all!

1.  How does one give an icon to a non-APPL file?  Is it the same
procedure as for an APPL?  If not, what are the differences?

2.  Anyone know of a numeric keypad for the Mac+?  I just recently
went from my 512K to the Plus, but didn't want to spring $100 for a
whole new keyboard.  There used to be one that had a trackball in it
from Cambridge Automation, but it isn't Mac+ compatible.  Hints?

3.  I keep hearing about problems with the newest System and Finder
(the Dynamic Duo).  Since I have a Plus now, I'd like to get them (I
like the fat trash can 8-)).  Is there a problem with this since it is
not an SE or II?  Also, just how much software have people found that
puke on these newest system goodies?  Where can I get them?
