I've had requests from several people to move the trash to a location other than the lower right hand corner. Can this be done on a permanent basis using something like ResEdit? Or any other simple way?

The Trashcan stays where you put it under 7. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.

Or any other simple way? This can easily be done with a utility which is available in the Sumex archives: util/trashcan-mover.hqx With it, you just click on the location where you want to move the trash can.

Or you could just wait for system 7... trash can will then be relocateable
