Ghost Icons
If you wish to move a file icon around the screen or to another disk, you can
do so easily. Click on the file icon once so that it appears in reverse video,
pause, then click on it again. An outline of the file icon will become
attached to the pointer. The outline is the file's ghost icon. Move the ghost
icon around the screen, and click
to deposit it on the desired place, whether
the location is another spot on the disk note pad, the border
area, another
disk drive icon, the waste basket, or the printer icon. (Most of these icons
are described below.) You also can move file icons to other disk note pad
pages, or you can copy them to another disk.
