Thanks so much for the VERY helpful info. I have been successfull in downloading and using decompression files. Also, your help with CLI was helpful as I have never used this. A couple of questions. I downloaded WBUNDO.LZH but it states i need arp.Library V39+. Do you know where I can get this? Also, and icon appeared in my new directory (thanks to you) for WBUNDO. How did this appear? No other files have [C [D whoops– No other files have an icon support. Is there someway I can do this with all files? Thanks again for your help. You helped a lost user find his way!

Quite a few of our programs that demand the arp.library come with it as part of the archive. Yours apparently did not. Just in case, though, do read the directory from the CLI to see if it is there. If it is, just copy it into your libs: directory on your workbench. If it is not there, look in Library 11 of AmigaTech. At the Lib 11! prompt, type BROWSE ARP* and the ARP programs will come up for you one at a time. I think the one you want is ARP13.LZH, but there may be one that has just Arp.library without having the rest of ARP, and that would be a smaller download. Someof the files you download will have icons included; others will not. You can always get a drawer icon by copying Empty.info from your workbench to the new file. In this case, I suspect that you typed something very much like: COPY WORKBENCH:EMPTY.INFO DL:WBUNDO.INFO That gets the drawer icon, and opens a window. If there are any icon files in the archive, they will appear in that window. If there are not, you can try copying another program's icon to the programs (COPY WORKBENCH:UTILITIES/MORE.INFO DL:NEWDIRECTORY/NEWPROGRAM.INFO) and if the program was written to run from an icon, this should make it work. Some programs are intended to run from the CLI only, and you cannot make an icon run those. Betty
