Will wonders never cease! This is very very similar to the arrangement of icons on Unix PC windows. The "drag" icon is in the upper-left and is a pair of arrows, one pointing to the upper-left, one to the lower-right. The kill-window icon is in the lower left and is a big X inside a box. The resize icon is in the lower-right and is another double arrow in the same orientation as the drag icon, but is embedded in a double box arrangement. There's a large box with a smaller box anchored at the upper left of the larger box. The top-right has a help icon rather than a depth arranger icon. There isn't an "iconify" idea for windows on Unix PC's so that doesn't apply here. When I first got my Unix PC I liked playing mousie with the computer, but I eventually learned the keyboard equivalents and haven't gone back to using the mouse. But then it's a text oriented machine and therefore doesn't have as much need for a mouse. -- <---- David Herron -- The E-Mail guy <---- or: {rutgers,uunet,cbosgd}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <---- <---- I don't have a Blue bone in my body!
