Steven,

I imagine that everyone who has installed Mozilla with the installer has
these desktop objects. Looking at the directory where these objects are
in detail view, I see that the object is an instance of a program class--a
new concept for me. It's not a program file and not a shadow, but I knew
that. What bothers me is that OS/2 seems to be hiding something. If I
issue a dir or attrib *.* command from a command line prompt for the
c:\desktop\mozilla dir nothing shows up. Yet WKS shows these objects
present in the folders corresponding to that directory. I'll have to read
up on these objects as I've asked the same question a few times in the
past when I encountered such objects referencing other programs, but never
got a response. One of the books I have must describe program objects, or
can you point me to a reference.
