EMITHBDONB (Excuse Me If This Has Been Discussed On the Net Before), 
but I seem to have a funny happening in multifinder.  About a quarter
of the time, and corrilated to nothing that I can put my finger on,
the Icons on the right side of the mac screen (Disks and Trash) just
vanish after being covered up by a window, and the window being put
away or moved away.  When they are vanished, I can reappear them
by clicking on the old icon location, or by clicking and dragging a
selection box that includes them.  

Nothing else bad seems to be happening, and no, I have not rebuilt 
the system or reinnitialized the disk.

I see it happening on both a Mac Plus with 42M syquest, and a Mac II with
60M Rodime.

Any thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks.

Brion
