I'm having some trouble with a few of the desk accessories that I've
downloaded from the net recently and would like some help.

1.  I have not been able to get the following to work at all; I used
    Resource Mover to install them into System -
	idle = this is supposed to blank out the screen and bounce
		around an icon.  Nothing happens when I select it.  The note
		accompanying it said it should contain ICN# 3, but all I
		found was the DRVR.  (The checksum and everything was OK) 
		Am I installing it incorrectly?    
	explor = Nothing happens.

2.   I've been using the Desk Accessory Mover (1.4) to extract desk accessories
     that were originally resources, not DAM documents.  Most DA's come out
     OK.  Calendar, insect, and journal cannot be extracted from System
     successfully using the DAM - when extracting them, they get
     initiated as though I had selected them from the apple menu,
     and DAM reports an error.
     Is there something about these DA's that makes them unsuitable
     to be made into DAM documents?  Is there a way around it?  I really
     would like to keep them as DAM doc's; it's so much more
     convenient.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Mail or followup okay, as you see fit.

Thanks in advance,
