	This is ridiculous!!  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!  How useful!!!  :-)

	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....
