I mention this because it has always annoyed me to death about Iconed.  You
don't point to the upper left edge and click and the drage the frame around,
you point, click, and *release*.  The frame will not appear until you do
release.  I never want to because I have been trained the other way.  Well,
in fact you simply point, click, release and the click again when you are
where you want to be.  Just thought I would mention it.

PS, who has working Kermit?  Cu20b is supposed to have the file ckaker.boo
in the Ker: directory, but I can't find it.  Anybody got any kermits out
there?

thanks...
