A couple MacPython questions...

[Jason Harper]

1. The Mac's Desktop isn't really expressible in terms of a pathname
- it's actually the union of the Desktop Folders on all mounted 
volumes (and you can't count on that name, you should use 
macfs.FindFolder() to get the proper, localized name).  However, the
code you posted should at least partially work, and indeed it does 
on my system - I suspect that your Desktop items are all on a 
different volume than 'Macintosh HD:', or that you don't actually 
have any files or folders on your desktop (disks, servers, and the 
Trash don't count).

3. If the file you're trying to turn into an applet is big, you may 
need to allocate more memory to BuildApplet - select it in the 
Finder, then choose Get Info from the File menu.  The default is 
less than 2MB.

There is a MacPython mailing list at www.python.org that you might 
want to join for questions like these.
