After looking through all the docs that I have from my A3000, I wondered
if there as a way, (ie. preference) to set the 2.0 Workbench to show all
files as icons in Workbench mode? I can select a disk and use the pull-
downs (really pop-ups on my machine) and set this, but I must do this every
time I boot the machine.
I thought that this should be in one of the pref windows, but I could not
find it.

ENV:sys/def_drawer.info contains the view and show modes for default icons. (This comes from ENVARC:sys/def_drawer.info at boot-time). You can set anything you like for your default icon drawers by copying the appropriate icon there, or my creating a drawer to match it, then operating on the drawer using Workbench. Someone could write a "Preferences" to edit it, if they wanted. > Brett Bourbin \ / /(_ /\/ 11440 Commerce Park Drive Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.

[I think his question is simpler than the way Peter answered it...]
When you set "Show All Files" from Workbench, you must snapshot the
window to make it stay that way after reboots.

I also tried to figure out this one, and it all boils down to using snap shot from the windows menu (SNAPSHOT - WINDOW). From now on, the disk will remember to display all files. > >-- > __ > Brett Bourbin \ / /(_ /\/ 11440 Commerce Park Drive > ..!uunet!visix!brett \/ / __)/ /\ Reston, Virginia 22091 > brett@visix.com Software Inc (703) 758-2733 -- Colin DeWolfe dewolfe@ug.cs.dal.ca
