Adam, yer right! It's called Relocate Trash Can in Mac Utilities & DAs on
America Online. You just run it, select a copy of the Finder to modify, then
point where you would like the Trash to be. Even a DOSer could handle this,
I bet. It's intended for those with huge monitors, but I found it useful
even on my ol' Plus to move the Trash down and to the right a bit so it's
not covered by windows under MultiFinder. Still wish Apple provided a way to
delete a file in the Finder without moving all the windows out of the way
(yeah, I know there's DiskTop etc. etc.). A Delete Selection menu item
under Special would do it. -Russ
