I need help on the correct usage of GetDiskObject().  It works fine for me
when I  use it on a project, tool, trashcan, or drawer icon, but it won't
work on a disk icon.

First, what should I give to GetDiskObject as the icon name for a disk icon?
".info" will be appended to whatever I give, so if I want to get the icon
for disk MYDISK: shouldn't I give "MYDISK:" as the argument to GDO(), 
resulting in "MYDISK:.icon" being read?  (Doesn't work)

Second, what is the GetWBObject() function?  Should I be using this
instead of GetDiskObject for disk icons?

Any help would be appreciated.  In return I'll send a copy of my program, 
which will allow you to essentially "diskcopy" a floppy into a drawer
(for example copy a fred fish disk into a drawer on your hard disk)
by clicking on the floppy disk icon, and a drawer icon.  The floppy
icon will be used to create a new drawer icon (within the drawer  which 
was clicked on) and then all files will be copied into the new drawer.

Thanks,
Duncan Thomson
