...by now, it nearly seemed like a feature, it happens so consistently ...((-:
and if you do a 'Put Away' from the file menu, to chase the file back into the
folder where it came from, more often than not, it will reappear on the desk-
top at a later time.  The only thing that fixes the problem reliably for me,
is to copy the file onto another disk, delete it, and copy it back.

Talking of bugs ...:

1)  you'd think you could, at least, COPY the name of disks/files/folders/
	Get Info comments from a write-protected disk.  but Nooooo......

2)  and lately, when copying as little as ONE file (or more), I see messages
	saying something to the effect:  "not enough space to do that.  please
	attempt to copy in several parts"   Huuuh??? copy 1 file in parts ???

3)  I don't think what happens inside Switcher counts as bugs (or does it?)
	when you try to open DeskAccessories and you've not allocated more than
	minimal space to the program, you don't get a message indicating that
	you are about to run out of space .... YOU RUN OUT OF SPACE AND HANG.
