If you're really done with the disk, the icon does automatically disappear. If it doesn't go away, then there is still some process which has dependancies on that disk. It could mean that some file or directory was locked and never unlocked. It could mean that there are ASSIGNments to that disk. In any case, if an icon does not disappear when the disk is removed, it is either still needed or there a some buggy code around. -- Kevin Dooley UUCP - {uunet,pyramid}!utai!helios.physics!dooley Physics Dept.
