There was a program on a Fish disk about two releases ago - probably in the
130s - called HandyIcons.  It provides for the addition of an extra menu
on the workbench for tools, and lets you store the path to those tools as
well.  An extremely nice program.  But it does have a problem.  It will not
work with both 1.3 KS and 1.3WB installed.  Requires 1.2.  Too bad.
