yep! i learned enough of REXX to have some scripts that created launch icons 
for my bbs nodes... by creating them procedurally, i knew their name and so 
could trigger them procedurally as well... or just click on them... i had 
something for the mail tossing routine such that when it was running, a mailbox 
with mail in it was displayed... when it was not running, the mail box icon was 
invisible... it was pretty neat when i first did it... later, i removed it and 
just let the process run without trying to trigger the icon to show...
