I'm new to MS Windows (lots of Mac experience) and have a question concerning the setting up of applications. If I add the application via the Setup program from within windows, it will find the Win3 app and put in the program description for me. If I use the Program Manager to add a new program item, it will ask me for the program description. How can I get that filled in with the description that comes inside the file? In this case it was a tetris game (filename = TETRIS.EXE) and Setup called it "Damn Bitchen Tetris Game." I grep'd the file and finally figured where the name was coming from. :-) Ah, and is it possible to change the group folder icons? Changing program icons doesn't seem to be a problem, but you aren't given the choice of changing them with the "Properties" command. Thanks. -- :r .signature ".signature" No such file or directory

I knew that it gets into the load module, but that it is actually used is new to me. It seems that it was new to the author of TETRIS.EXE and the author of the program manager )-:, too. While we're at it: do you have my KLOTZ in your collection of Tetris clones? If not, give it a try. Wolfgang Strobl
