Thanks in advance. The icons _are_ in the device drivers, but probably just stored as bits in memory. It you are truly gung-ho about this, you can trace through a call to the driver (control call, csCode=22) to see where it stores the icon. (The call is documented on IM V-470). Once you find the icon, you would have to build an appropriate icon in ResEdit, write down the hex, and patch up the driver. Personally, I think turning the monitor would be easier :-) >Paul Christensen Bob Hablutzel BOB@NUACC.ACNS.NWU.EDU
