Emile,
is the name literally "{Icon\return}" ? Or do you mean the name is
"Icon" plus a chr(13) ?
Not sure if/how it's related, but maybe you know that previous versions
of REALbasic used to store it's serial number information in an
invisible file with a similar name in the Preferences folder. I believe
it was "Icon" plus a chr(8) or the like...
Might that be a lunatic RB IDE? Does the file created/modified stamps
give a clue? What's inside of the file? Does it have a resource fork?
Cheers,
Frank+++
