It seems to work OK -- except for one thing. All of the files and directories in my home directory appear on the desktop! There's a directory marked Desktop that includes what it's supposed to (almost empty -- just a terminal), but a whole lot more stuff appears. Any ideas why? Thanks. cheers, pete <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Pete Clapham Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences Cleveland State University Cleveland, Ohio, 44115 Voice: [216] 687-4820 Fax: [216] 687-6972 <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:w.clapham@csuohio.edu">w.clapham@csuohio.edu</a> </pre> </body> </html>
