EEEEEEKK!!

Why don't you just drag the folder from the Browser into Digital
Librarian? This is a heck of a lot easier to do, plus it will make
it less system-wide (it creates a 'targets' directory in ~/.NeXT)
instead of changing what everyone sees when they start DL.

Sure, DL looks for a file named icon.tiff in the .index directory that
is created after you index the target.
