Changing the IconType changes the way the filenames are displayed.

This is one of the few changes that "stick" if done from the Command
Panel while dBASE is open.

a = _app.inifile
modi comm &a

Change the IconType value, save the the inifile, close and reopen dBASE.

The default in my inifile is IconType=0.

Five screenshots showing the various settings for IconType are attached.
