Where can I get some documentation on all the stuff defined in DESKTOP.INF file? Maybe somebody can help me with what I want do do: I want to replace the [show] selection, but not the [print], when double-clicking a non-executable file with QVIEW.PRG that came with QUICKST package. Can this be done with DESKTOP.INF file?

Can this be done with DESKTOP.INF file? Select QVIEW.PRG once (highlight it) from the desktop. Go to the options menu and select Install Application. Then save desktop. If you don't have Rainbow TOS, load DESKTOP.INF and add the pathname to QVIEW.PRG at the bottom of the file. In fact, doesn't the QuickST manual tell you how to do this?! BTW, this will replace both the show and print selection. You will need a print utility to replace the print selection. If you get DCShowit, I think it will replace only the show selection. It can be found at atari.archive. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0

What you suggest does work, but defeating the print selection is why I don't want to use it. >If you get DCShowit, I think it will replace only the show selection. >It can be found at atari.archive. I tried this but some files come with simple CR line terminators which DCShowit cannot display. DCShowit is almost what I want. I picked up a copy of DC Desktop this weekend and one of it's modules appears to do what I want. I'll know better after using it a few days. Thanks for the pointers. This thanks goes out to those who emailed me as well. -Bob

>Well, actually I would if I could find it. Anybody wanna take a stab >at a more accurate filename? Since Ed couldn't find it, he mailed me a copy of the text he had. Someone else also mailed me another text file (thanks Walt Weber). I combined the two files together and deposited them at the atari archive in the 'new' directory. The file is called DSKTPINF.LZH.
