This morning, about 2:30am, I was trying to replace my dh1: icon with a
fish. (A Blue Gill, or Sunfish, I beleive.) Anyway, I used a PD utility
called Brush2Icon to convert a dpaint brush to an icon.
I think what happened is that I ended up replacing both dh1:.info and
dh1:disk.info.
The df1:.info after this was only 25 bytes, so I copied the .info
from dh0: to df1: (now it's 170 bytes.) In retrospect, this probably
wasn't a good idea :-).

HELP!
Now, I can't open the disk by double-clicking, and I can't permanently
reposition it using snapshot.
What can I do? What is in .info as opposed to the disk.info? Is .info
the screen position of the window and disk.info the icon?

What is the format of a .info file? what can I use to edit it?
Is there a way to generate a new .info from scratch?

Oh, BTW, the icon does look like a fish. (So, something worked.)

Dave
