You probably could use HandyIcons or MyMenu by either patching the "Workbench" string in either to "Fastbench", and you can definitely patch the "Fast" strings back to "Work" (or anything else, for that matter) in SetCPU. Though it occurs to me this has pointed out a conceptual flaw in programs that look for the "Workbench" text string in the title of a screen in order to find the Workbench screen. That sounds just plain wrong. Seems to me the test for the Workbench-ness of a screen, if you must, should go like this: if ((screen->Flags & SCREENTYPE) == WBENCHSCREEN) Excellent(); else Bogus(); Or something like that. Hopefully the need to do this at all goes away in the 1.4 OS. > Chris (Insert phrase here) Seaman | o\ /o See > crs@cpsc6a.att.com | || "Attack of the Killer Smiley"! > ...!att!cpsc6a!crs | \vvvvvv/ Coming Soon > | \____/ to a newsgroup near you! -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Systems Engineering) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: D-DAVE H BIX: hazy Be careful what you wish for -- you just might get it
