I'm wary of asking apparent no-brainers but how is IconTool accessed in DSL-4.2.4?

Failing that where is IconTool located in DSL-4.2.4?

Well, in dsl-4.2.5 there is Apps/Graphics/IconView - is this what you're looking for?

I'm looking for the IconTool referred to in the following extract from http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_Icons_to_the_Desktop

-----------------------------------------------

Fluxbox menu DSL: Desktop: IconTool
JWM Menu: DSL Setup Desktop: IconTool

window shows DSL Icon Tool you can choose to have icons: added, hidden, auto-arranged, single click or double click. You may also choose no icons and specific X Y coordinates for Icon placement. To finish configuration, return to "Click" tab and "Ok" Thanks to Roberts for the clean tool

-----------------------------------------------

The Apps/Graphics/IconView seems to be just a list of icons with no manipulation facilities.

That was used for the older desktop icon application (xtdesk) which was replaced with dfm. The desktop now has built-in features for adding and removing icons, which is much simpler.

The current DSL icon tool is an icon viewer only.

So how do I access the dfm add/remove features?

BTW I didn't appreciate how version-specific much of the DSL help data is. Seems little point in using the DSL Book I received at Xmas for help with DSL-4.n.n et seq.
