- I suspect that at one point it was dragged to the Hot-band, because
- that's how you install desk accessories under Executor.

- Yes, desk accessories often don't work under Executor, especially
- accesses to menus. This is something we're working on. In addition,
- installation of Desk Accessories needs a bit of work because the
- Browser doesn't acknowledge the installation until after you run a
- program, and if you drag something to the hotband twice, it gets put
- in there twice.
-
- It turns out that today I'm working on a variety of Browser related
- bugs, so I'll try to fix the Font/DA Installation problems. Next week
- I'll try to get to DA problems with menus.
