I have a few more questions....nothing really hard but your help would be
greatly appreciated:

1) Can anyone tell me about desktop.inf ? Can I mess around with it? What 
   do all of the numbers in it mean? Is there some documentation somewhere?

2) What is GDOS? When does one need it? How does one get it?

3) I am thinking of trying to write a program that will constantly display
   a digital time readout on the desktop and update it every minute. I might
   even like to do something like a clock 'icon' like on a Sun. Is this even
   possible? I don't want to waste my time if it's just a ridiculous 
   proposition.

4) I am interested in joining a network service. I am interested in programming
   the ST, C and MIDI and music stuff. Does anyone have recommendations for
   which one to join? I would like one with an ST forum and all that.
   Which service do you use? Is it expensive? Tell me what you think.

Thanks again,
keith
