It sounds like that but it was not defined as a DS_Store file but
was rather
just dumped in a file I titled Rescued Files 1/26/07 containing 2595
files, many
of them html files. These show up in the 'Finder' mode.

What I did was delete all of the Alias's in this folder. The file
size was then about 1600 if I recall correctly, but is now 2595.

That I do so that I can see what type and size of files they are as
well as the date generated. Those I deleted yesterday were all dated
1/30/07.

Please don't be concerned. I am in operational mode at the moment.
