Just a little digression here.  Why are icon files suffixed with .info?  It
would seem that .icon would be a more fitting suffix.  I know this is not an
earth-shattering thing, but it started bugging me yeterday - but I feel much
better now!

Just to spite the designers of Intuition (RJ?  What's he been doing lately
anyway?) lets all use .icon instead of .info!  [That way there'll be less
cruft on the screen for WB users, too].  

PS :-)
