Do a 'list' command and check for a line like: tools.info 934 ----rwed 10-Mar-90 21:02:21 ^ ----------------------------------------| If that 'd' is missing, then the 'snapshot' function won't re-write your icon file with the new screen locatons. Use the Protect command (I *think* - I use SKsh, and it has 'chmod' ) to set the delete protection bit ON. Then the snapshot _should_ work.
