It still remains hidden on the desktop. I would like to be able to throw things away from the finder while in MultiFinder, but every so often I find an unfriendly application whose window cannot be shrunk or moved out of the way and it ends up hiding the trash can. I suppose I could use one of my desk accessories that can delete files, but I hesitate to do that with the finder open because of experiences I had in the past. A thought that just occured to me, can you put the trash can in a folder? -- Jim Clausing -- "Is it time for a colorful metaphor?"
