Hi Alex,

That's exactly what I did.

That's what I did right now (till now I always threw it into the  
wastebasket).
I still have two entries among "programs": Skim mounted + skim with  
glasses
Among skim mounted there are two subentries:
1) a folder "applications" and skim with glasses
2) Skim with glasses

1) doubleclick the subentry Skim starts Skim
2) doubleclick this Skim results in a new " Skim mounted " icon on my  
desktop.

May I drop the Skim entry 2) ?

Servus, tschau, bye
