Well, I've installed A/UX 2.0, and most things are on their way to being
fine, except...

I like to keep my folder contents tidy: some filled with neatly-arranged
small icons, some listed by name, and so on.  But for some reason, the
A/UX finder insists on jumbling things up -- sometimes as I watch.
Putting things into the trash is a good way to make the source folder
get munged, but it happens sooner or later anyway.  HOW CAN I NAIL THOSE
DAMNED ICONS DOWN?  (Sorry: can't RTFM, as FM's (where F stands for
Full set of) have yet to be delivered.)

And while I'm here, as a Brit, I'd like to put the date around the
European way, set up my laserwriter to default to A4 paper, and maybe
even rename the trash.  What resources do I have to edit?  Thanks.

The good news: even though I'm a Brit, and the man page for crypt says

     NOTES
        This utility is not provided with international distribu-
        tions.

I've got it.  I expect a call from the U.S. State department any
moment.
