One thing I didn't know it could do was to start up an application with a
data file already loaded.  I later found how to do this in, of all places,
Computer Shopper's review of Windows 3.  All you have to do, it says, is to
drag the data file's icon onto the program icon.  Simple, eh?  Pardon me,
Microsoft, but I would like to have my application make the data file visible
*automatically*.  To make it visible, you must manually create a new program
object, then enter the filename in the dialog box, then create a link to the
filename's extension for the application.  Intuitive, hah!
