- I think you'll find that the only reason the other icons disappear is that
- you're plotting your artwork on top of them. Try changing the name of
- the INIT or cdev that gives you a startup screen to run -after- Disinfectant's.
- Hm. Waitaminute. Disinfectant's INIT is supposed to run -first-. Are
- you using an old version of the INIT?
