Hi,
I apologize if this has already been discussed in this newsgroup.
How do I set my Cube to launch a Console window every time I login?
Thanks in advance for any help, venky.

Oh goody, one I can answer, and it's a gorgeous Sunday morning too. Must be my lucky day! In the Workspace, open Tools and click Console. Miniaturize the console and drag its icon into the dock. (You could find that icon in the Browser, too, if you knew where to look; I don't.) In the Workspace Preferences dock menu, click the console icon so it has a checkmark. Close that menu. Console will be launched on your subsequent logins. <> It is an interesting question how far men would retain <> their relative rank if they were divested of their <> clothes. -- H.D.

At least as far as I know (and have tested) you can't drag window icons or documents into the dock. They have to be applications.

See what I get for thinking I knew something? What was *for sure* was that I had done it, but I misremembered how I did it. This is a good reason to be a packrat, for I bethought myself, "damn, where *did* I get that from?" "Aha, I bet I got it from this very newsgroup," and sure enough, I found it.
