When you get that dialog, double click on the suitcase, and it will open up, revealing a generic looking application with the name of your DA as normally seen in the Apple menu. Drag that icon out of there into the Apple Folder or wherever you want it, and after that you will be fine. I renamed my DAs after that method, and oneday I may give them their own custom icon. After you have dragged the icon, you can throw away the "empty suitcase folder" you are left with. Another interesting things (that is how I forced myself to work out the' above) - if you try running Font/DA Mover (I used the latest), it will bring up a dialog saying you no longer need to use this application under System 7.0 - rather neat, I thought. -- +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Terry Teague (WWIV Mac BBS) | "Greed is good" Disclaimer: what opinions... | +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Internet: teague@apple.COM GENIE: TEAGUE1 CompuServe: 76354,324 | | UUCP: {sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!teague | | Applelink: Teague.T PRODIGY: MBGW04C MCI: 279-2400 (SSI) | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
