No, not Modula-2 this time. I'm growing from CLI user to a Workbench user
and my programs start to produce icons for their output. I'm doing this
by creating a DiskObject structure, filling all the fields (BTW is there
some documentation except the few sentences from RKM II?) an then writing
this DiskObject to disk. Next time I open the drawer the icon appears.
BUT I'm doing this from floppy, and it is not the only file in the directory.

Is there any way to tell Workbench immediatly that there is a new icon around?
Sending a tiny little secret message to its port? protocol? structures?

Thanx for any help!
