Hmmmm. :)  Well, I added the click on a text file, bring up the editor to
desktop this morning.  Also have just about completed the Attr option.

On window cycleing, if you click on the backwin icon, the upper right corner of
the menubar, you would have the clock pop up.  What is happening is that the
clock is behind the desktop.  You can shrink the desktop and see it, really, it
is there. :)  The backwin icon puts the current window at the back of the stack
of windows on the current screen.  If the clock and desktop are both on the
same screen, then the full screen app will cover the others, right.

On the alarm stuff, I'm not quite sure what the alarm would do.  Say I do add
and alarm call, who's going to ring the bell?  Can the child, clock, set up an
alarm for the parent?  Or are you suggesting that the alarm be valid until the
clock itself is closed?

Would you prefer allowing the user to delete directories?  It wouldn't be hard
to do, but there would be no way to recover the deleted directory.

Main reason you don't have the click on file, pop into editor thing yet is I
wanted to finish the attr function before I made it work.

I'm not sure why the mouse goes away,  OH, it does go away when a select is
done and the mouse doesn't move.  You have to move the mouse before it will
reappear.  This was done on purpose so you don't end up with a mouse pointer
annoying you until you actually need it.

Keep those cards and letters comming,  ;)  Good input is hard to find these
days,
