	MouseDesk is a shell (for ProDOS, I believe) that emulates the Macintosh
Finder, using the mouse/icons/desktop interface.  It uses double-high res
graphics, and it may require the enhancement kit for use on the //e.  You can
receive a copy of it by mailing to the address listed in the previous posting
(sorry, I don't know what it is).  The reason you can get a copy of it for $10
is because Apple ahs more or less put their advertising weight behind Quark's
Catalyst 3.0 in the Apple // desktop war.
