   I used the startup directory suggestion posted here and found that
   the application ICON changes to a default. After some playing around
   with 'change icon' I discovered that the original icon can be had by
   typing in the correct program path and clicking on 'view next'.
   Usually even this didn't work with the first attempt, but usually
   worked on the second or third attempt. Now all WIN app's properly
   start from a C:\DOC\app_name\(stuff) subdirectory, as long as my WIN
   3.0 subdirectory is in the PATH.
 
   To those suggesting I use WORD four Win, I have it. I like WRITE
   better for small and simple documents. Maybe I haven't spent
   sufficient time setting up WORD, but I find it slower in loading and
   too busy looking. Once I have played with it more I may change my
   tune.
 
   thanks
