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...
