- Very simple, just add 'ICONVIEW=FLOW;' to the settings:
-
- rc = SysCreateObject( 'WPFolder' ,,
- folderName ,,
- basePath ,,
- 'OBJECTID=' || folderID || ';ICONVIEW=FLOW;',,
- 'R' )

- you need access to the programmers toolkits.
- In particular remember to separate setup bits by ";"
- and I find it never hurts to terminate the string with ";" either.

- I agree, though, that this stuff should ship with Rexx/2.
