With the latest Finder (6.0) applications get their Get Info comments
from a special resource all applications have (the one which
identifies their 'creator' - I forget the right name for it). This is
often called the version string, and it doesn't go away when you
rebuild the desktop (it isn't in the desktop). Non-applications
("documents") don't have this and will lose their comments. I don't
know what happens with an application which also has a desktop (FCMT)
comment.

All the Get info comments did not appear. Further investigation with ResEdit showed that the resource FCMT vanished. I have the same configuration (SE w/20M, MF and 1 Meg) and it wiped out the Get Info Comments. But now that I think about it I was running MF. I will have to go back and try it with just the finder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: I am not attached to any organization.
