  I'm using Finder 6.0 with System 4.1 on a Mac 512KE, and recently
discovered something interesting.  If I'm working with a desk
accessory, and put a floppy in (but continue working with the DA while
it's mounting), the Finder will show any open folders on the newly
inserted disk, but *not* anything on the desktop.  Opening the disk
icon (the disk directory is initially closed) causes the icons on the
desktop to appear.
  Has anyone else run into this?  Is it fixed in a later version?
(Will later versions run on "antiques" like my 512KE? :-)
