UNMOUNT ?

Can anyone tell me how to UNMOUNT a device ? Or, alternatively, how to make its icon disappear from the WorkBench ? I am trying to do two things… First is to make my working partitions on my HD iaccessible to the kids… all their stuff is now in a separate partition. (Currently I'm using a VERY TINY icon that <10 yr old motor skill have a hard time hitting with the mouse – but that becomes a challenge). Second is to temporarily access pseudo-floppies created on the HD using FMSdisk (GREAT TOOL). A specific application needs them and I MOUNT via an Xicon script, but once its done I'd like them gone from WB (the app may MOUNT 2 or 3 of these over the day and I prefer not to have them cluttering up WB, plus the re-mount later in the day fails if its still mounted. I AM currently using pairs of "ASSIGN nnnnn: REMOVE" to accomplish this latter which I found through trial and error to work, specifially ASSIGN FF0: REMOVE then ASSIGN VOLNAME: REMOVE. Both seem required. BUT this does not seem like the intended usage of ASSIGN REMOVE ? Is it ? I've had a few wierd gurus lately and worry that this aproach is screwing things up internally… -tnx – da – via Whap!
