  Has anyone else noticed this problem with data files using Excel 2.2?  If the
file is one the same disk/volume as the Excel application, the icon appears
normally (note that it is slightly different than the icon for a 1.5 file).
However, once you move the data file or application to another disk/volume,
the data file looses it's icon and becomes that of just an ordinary document.
Double clicking on it will launch Excel, but it is a little disturbing to have
this happen.
  This has never happened on any other application ever before.  Systems include
a Mac Plus and IIx, running 6.0.3, although I don't think this has any 
influence.  I'm not sure I can do much about it, but I would like to at least
know that it's not only me.
