Yeah, what is that thing for, anyway? (Tools->ResetWB). I ofthen hit it when I'm bored, but it doesn't really do anything.


It'll clean up any graphics corruption or glitches on your workbench screen.  Also, IIRC, if you manage to copy a workbench configuration file over your current one, hitting "ResetWB" will cause the settings in the new file to become active.

Not terribly useful anymore, as it's fairly rare that something corrupts your workbench screen, and the new ENV: / ENVARC: system makes more sense than the old "system-configuration" file.

Now, as an interesting piece of trivia, if you edit your startup-sequence and make the "LoadWB" line into "LoadWB -debug" you'll get a new item below "ResetWB" that is "flushlibs".  That'll scan your resident libraries and free any that aren't currently in use, thus giving you more free RAM.  :)  

I think you also get an item named "romwack" which you don't want to pick unless you like freezing your Amiga while it waits for a special code on the serial port.  (The only way out is a three-key salute.)
