TSGL: Shortcut icon on desktop H. DAVIS

[H Davis]

Wow, I'll have to let you talk to the wife. She doesn't share your high 
opinion of me and my efforts.

I've seen this launcher scheme before where a small program starts a 
large program and I seemed to remember strange behavior from the 
launcher program. Sometimes I get lucky. Glad I could give back. I've 
sure gotten more than I've given from this group.
