Even the Mac doesn't give you this.. (ever play with MacTool??) I can just see it now, opening up my c drawer on the workbench and have 30 icons pop up!

Hmmmm... every time I use to use the WB for diskcopy it was the same 3 swaps... except with a cute little window attached! Hey, I'm not saying the workbench is fantastic, but it does have its merits, even though the implimentation is a little slow. Copying .info files is a really easy way to copy icons. And you have to love those front and back gadgets. I hate it when you click on a Mac window by accident and it pops to the front. Annoying.... lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu
