Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Wrong class for drives object - how2fixit?

=====================================================

A directory in one of my drives is listed as a class of LSDataFile
instead of WPFolder.

I can't figure out how to change this back so that I can browse the
directory from the WPS object. It comes up with the properties box
with "type-Become-Icon-File-Menu" selections.

I tried checkini and that didn't fix it.

I tried Obj. Inspector but cannot make changes there (perhaps I
don't have it installed properly). I created a rexx script from
Obj. Insp. and altered it to match a typical folder. However, the
Rexx Script also creates the contents of the folder also.

I modified the rexx script only to the folder level, not the
contents. If I run this (assuming I didn't make any major goofs) I
assume it will update the object from LSDataFile to WPFolder. But
what about the contents of the folder? I don't have anything in
the rexx script for the contents. I don't see why this won't work,
but would like some confirmation before I push the button and maybe
screw everything up.

Thanks, Jon
