No problem. Sorry for the long delay -- technical problems and a busy 
personal life myself. [:)


DN> The WPS stores icon positions in an extended attribute of the

DN> abstract folder (also a directory, but managed slightly
DN> differently). The name of the extended attribute is, unsurprisingly,
DN> .ICONPOS and its format is _undocumented_ in the OS/2 DTK.

So _that's_ where it is!! I was under the impression, for some reason, 
that it would be an extended attribute, but it didn't occur to me that 
it would be one of the _folder's_ EA's.

Thanks a lot, David. This will get me going, I'm sure. Take care and 
TTYL.
