Thank you all for your kind responses. Unfortunately, like other previous
responses, it did not work. The icons would not 'stick'. Strangely, no one
in all the varied responses on this list and other lists mentioned the
keyword - "Links". I stumbled on this myself. You must activate 'Links'
in the Toolbar menu. The links area will accept and hold the icons and
allow 'one click' loading of their respective programs. I hope you find
this valuable for future inqueries.
