I was waiting for someone else to respond to the original posting.  I
wasn't expecting Brent L. Bates to do it first.

First, copy from /usr/NeWS/lib/user.ps to user.ps in your own
home directory.

Next, look for the three lines in your copy of user.ps that look like:

%% whether icons are automaticly tidied up is controled by TidyState
% UserProfile /TidyState /Always put            % default state
% UserProfile /TidyState /Never put             % pre- 4D3.2 release behavior


Change them to make it look like:


%% whether icons are automaticly tidied up is controled by TidyState
% UserProfile /TidyState /Always put            % default state
UserProfile /TidyState /Never put             % pre- 4D3.2 release behavior


There are other goodies in there to change as well if you like.
