Okay, I give up...
I haven't done a proper search through the manuals yet, but maybe this'll
be faster.

What ON EARTH is snapshot for.  I naievely assumed that it  would have
something to do with storing the current arrangement of some set of WB items
on disk. You know, if a disk is selected, store the sizes and positions of
currently open drawers. If a window is selected, store the size, position,
and position of Icons within, of that window. This would be neat. I could
put icons in nice places in windows, and expect them to be there next time I
opened the drawer.

Since nothing like this happens... WHAT IS SNAPSHOT FOR.

P.S. If the answer is obvious, and ANY amiga owner should know it,
please reply by email - don't want to clog the net up with 100 identical 'it
does X Y Z, you idiot!' replies.
