[GEM Development] bug with the desktop? _ENTER A DOS COMMAND

[John Elliott]

: Hm...I just encountered this problem too.  When I selected ENTER A DOS
: COMMAND is said "This application cannot find the file or folder you are
: trying to open."

  Fixed and re-uploaded.

  My thoughts on the distro in general: 

i) Your ICN files don't seem to match your DESKTOP.INF; EXE files, for
example, display with the 'multimedia' icon. I imagine this is because
you're using the most recent ICN files from my copy of the Desktop, but the
DESKTOP.INF is designed for an older version. I would suggest making at
least the following amendments:

#G2444 SYSFONT.APP@ *.PSF@
#G1F3F EDICON.APP@ *.ICN,*.ICO@
#G1C3C BASIC2.AOO@ *.BAS@

ii) You've got spaces in the #G082A DESKTOP.APP@ line, which means that
double-clicking BAT and CFG files doesn't do a 'show contents' as you might 
expect. Of course, if you fix this by removing the spaces, it means BAT 
files are no longer runnable from the Desktop.
