I just got a hard drive for my A500 yesterday and I have a question concerning it's use. First, I'll give some info about my machine. I'm using an A500 w/1mb ram, two floppy drives, and a new GVP Impact Series II A500-HD+ w/105 meg. drive. Ok, now my question is about copying files onto the HD. I've copied a game and a program I downloaded from CS called SoundFx and they copied fine(I did this from the CLI) but, the drawer for the game and SoundFx were placed under the drawers already on the HD. I couldn't find a way of moving them to an empty space. The only way I could figure out was by moving the drawer and copying it. This seems like a waste of time and still doesn't place the drawer right where I would like it to be. So, if someone could tell me how to change the location of a drawer on my hard drive I would appreciate it. Thanks, Andrew

With the drawer selected, use SNAPSHOT from one of the Workbench menus, I forget which, to stick it in the new place. Craig

By selecting an Icon and then calling SNAPSHOT from the WorkBench menu, you can freeze the icon to the current position. If the Icon is a Drawer Icon with it's window open, you can Snapshot the Icon and the size/position of it's window at the same time. Mike McCormick
