[Ti] .DS_Store (was....need root help)

[Tom R. no spam]

FWIW, IIRC the .DS_Store files--maybe among other things they
do--hold info equivalent to OS9 resource fork info.  Without
doing any experiments to check, I've had the impression they
are used by Classic.  Whether they are recreated by the OS
when needed if previously deleted, I don't know.
