Hi

If you simply select show 'only icons ' from the Window drop down menu and not show ' all files ' then only the actual program execution icons will be visible... and other drawers. Its probably an icon that is quite distinctive. If you click a hammerhead or ' tool ' this generally has no '.info ' associated icon... your C drawer in Workbench is full of these. They are tools. If you click you probably get a message ' Execute a File ' then an error. These are tools used in conjunction with execute scripts from the icons with the .info icon. You get more information about icons from the drop down menu requesting this.

Aminet is full of wonderful tools, which on their own will do very little.

Try and install DOpus so you can interrogate files... You also need CrossDOS and LHA set up and you can simply take your CD files from the PC and read and unarchive on the Amiga. LHA is a tool that resides in C also.
