Boy, was that ever true. bob eliminates all (and I do mean all) text from the desktop. Filenames, disks, etc. only have their icons showing. The only possible use I can think of is if you have young children that can't read yet and like to use the Mac. Other than that, I thought it was a useless piece of code, and threw it away after about 20 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Kovatch kovatch@skybridge.sdi.cwru.edu Case Western Reserve University CompuServe: 76344,3477
