No problem. Sorry for the long delay -- technical problems and a busy
personal life myself. [:)
DN> The WPS stores icon positions in an extended attribute of the

DN> .ICONPOS and its format is _undocumented_ in the OS/2 DTK.
So _that's_ where it is!! I was under the impression, for some reason,
that it would be an extended attribute, but it didn't occur to me that
it would be one of the _folder's_ EA's.
Thanks a lot, David. This will get me going, I'm sure. Take care and
TTYL.
