<bunch of stuff about the finder> (sorry, I can't do inserts)
There is a real easy way to make the icon appear on the desktop.. I can't
remember where I read about it but I think it was the system disk manual. To
do it, open the disk. Click on the icon you want on the desktop and drag it to
where you want it to stay. Close the window. Make sure the disk is UNwrite
protected and drag it into the trash can... The disk should eject and it's
icon removed from the screen. Re insert the disk. Viola, the icon will appear
where you left it. It's position is saved in one of those "invisible" files
on the disk called Finder.(something or other, can't remeber everything!)
This is the same process that allows you to colorize an icon and have it saved
even when you turn the machine off.
