Here's an example... If I drag a file from a Netscape FTP listing to the
desktop, the downloaded file retains a netscape "link" icon for a variable
period of time. If you double click on the file in this state you'll get
Netscape instead of the correct app  (a text editor for example). (OS 7.6.1
with NS 2.02 and 3.0) RR
