Jerry,

I actually have realized there's another simple problem. I thought the
app was installed on the hard drive; actually it's not. What happened
when tried to copy it to the Applications folder was it made an alias.
Guess I don't want to delete the desktop image unless I have a copy.
Seems the disk image is where the app is launching from?

Let me try it again; maybe I'm forgetting OS9 shortcuts don't
work in X.

Thanks, I think you've given me part of the solution.

Sigh. I knew OS 9 and previous so well; it's humbling to suddenly
be a newbie.
