okie dokie. i downloaded xlabel-2.8.5 so that i could use icons on my desktop. how do i use it? i extracted the zip files to the modules folder and created a folder for the module, but i have no idea how to run it, and is there a way to run it at lite step's start? thanks!

i've already tried that (by putting it in step.rc)and it said that i was missing a dll. no idea which one as it didn't tell me which one i was missing. and i did try to read the manuals, but i didn't really understand. and i searched google for hours last night. thanks for your help.

if you had read the manuals, you'd know that the netloadmodule line should be:
*NetLoadModule xLabel-2.9 load xlabel-2.9.dll

also, only put that in the step.rc if you wantit to be on all the themes.

Actually, RTFM almost doesn't cover this. The xLabel docs were omitted the "load..." bit for at least one release. You'd have to also have read the NLM docs to know how to handle it.

You'll probably want to delete the existing xlabel dll (and folder) and let NLM install it, from the zip or whatever. (which reminds me, I need to make it so you can select a zip to install from)
