 excuse me if you've seen this before]

I'm having a little trouble with the finder in system 6.0.5.  As in my previous
system (6.0.3) I used ResEdit to change the LAYO resource in the finder to
set my Icon Horiz. Spacing to a larger number so my icon titles wouldn't trip
over each other in their folders.  This worked just fine in 6.0.3, and it also
works in 6.0.5 *BUT* there seems to be this side-effect that when I do this,
and then view by name, the items in the folder are r e a l l y    s p a c e d
far apart (vertically, that is).

Anyone have any idea why (or how to fix it???)

Thanks!
