- With AmigaDOS V2+, you select an icon and use the Icons/Leaveout
- command on the Workbench.
-
- In your case, you say you have the files "AMIGATERM" and
- "AMIGATERM.INFO" in the same directory. If this is the case, rename
- "AMIGATERM.INFO" to "AMIGATERM.info".
-
- While AmigaDOS is supposed to be case insensitive, the system only
- deals with icons where the `.info' is in lower case.
-
- If your icon was visible before you tried to drag it to the screen,
- then I don't see how "AMIGATERM.info" could have been renamed to
- "AMIGATERM.INFO".
