	A fair few people expressed an interest in an answer to this 'problem'.
Thanks to 'Bob The Schulze' for telling me what was happening. 

	Something I forgot to mention in the original article, was the fact 
that at the time, my left mouse button had failed (as per Atari mouse usual).
I resorted to using the ALT alternatives. It seems that Neodesk has a feature
to list any filename, and guess how you do it? Yep, by pressing ALT. So the
only way of launching a program is with the mouse (which is okay, as long as
the mouse is working). 

	I should have read the manual more closely. I still think Neodesk is
wonderful, and I expect to be upgrading to v3 very soon.

Lee.
