Mike,

Playing with Desktop some more.  Looking better and better as I setup my file
system with the right AIFs and icons, and get all the files renamed so the
icons will show up.  Noticed a couple interesting "features".  I load a couple
fonts at startup to replace the rather anemic looking standard MM/1 font. 
These fonts are loaded into group c8, buffer 01 and 02.  From what I
understand, this is the same buffer and group as the two standard screen fonts.
Now, the font shows up in Desktop, and if I click on a text file or a C source
or something like that that calls the editor, the font is displayed there. 
But, if I click on the Shell, it pops up a shell window with the sickly looking
standard font!  Bummer!  I don't like that!  (grin).

Also, Sometimes a window that I created by clicking on something, like Shell or
Fontasee, or such, gets stuck when I exit it.  By stuck, I mean clicking the
right mouse button to cycle through the windows shows the stuck one, and there
is no way to unstick it and make it go away. This may be a windows problem,
similar to the disappearing window problem Steve and I mentioned already.

Another thing, can you make the Shell to call a settable parameter?  I really
hate the standard shell and would rather use Smersh instead.  Other users might
want to use csh or wven Microwares new Mshell.  Perhaps you can set it in the
config file.

More to come soon.

Mark
