Also, just as another data-point Deskcut does *NOT* work under eCS/OS2 
even after adding the proper path to the desktop where the shortcut 
should be located.  The error I receive is too long to list and 
copy/paste doesn't work in this dialog box.  But it starts with:

Bad Things Happened ...

After I click <OK> another dialog box pops up stating the shortcut 
wasn't created.

SPECS:
Athlon XP 1900+ w/512 megs DDR333 RAM
All IDE drives and CDRW/CDROM
Firefox ver. 1.0.4 browser ~ Thunderbird ver. 1.0.2
Operating-system: eComStation 1.1 (OEM release of OS/2 from Serenity 
Systems)

I think the OS is the problem why it doesn't work.  If it would help to 
possibly getting this extension to work I'll copy down the *exact* error 
message and send it in.

Just let me know ...

Thanks,
Gregory L. Marx
