I have a problem when I try to unbinhex and unstuff files that I have
downloaded from comp.binaries.mac on my unix system.  The files
transfer okay.  They seem to unbinhex okay, and they seem to unstuff
okay.  The problem is that everything I download with type 'APPL'
does not have a unique icon.  It has the generic icon of the page
with the folded down corner.  I also cannot launch any of these
applications.  I once rebuilt the desktop and it changed some of 
the icons and let me launch the applications.  Sometimes it creates
a unique icon for the first thing I unstuffed after I unstuff the
second.  My system is a 2.5M MacPlus with System 6.0.2 and the
latest finder. I have a Jasmine 100M HD that has about 36M on it.  
My latest attempt to rebuild the desktop did not help.  If anyone 
has a clue to what is causing the problem please e-mail me.  

						Thanks to all!   Todd
