Re: How to get at icons on desktop without closing all your windows?
Well, let me say this: The Public domain blast FKEY still works under
system 6.0.
This is on slick hack: Command-shift-8 blasts a hole through a window,
and what's beneath shows through the crack. You can keep blasting
until you get to the desktop itself. If you aim was good, then you
can double-click on the icon of the program you wanted to run, and it
will launch. The FKEY is slightly flakey, so be careful, and don't
ask me how to patch up the holes in your window (I'm not sure how to
do it without closing & reopening the window).
