You need to unpack them if they are packed (compressed) as most 
downloaded files are. If you are not sure about this part let us know and 
someone will walk you through that process. Second, you need to copy 
these unpacked DA's into the System/Desk.Accs folder on your boot drive. 
For example, mine boot partition is titled H1. Therefore I would copy a 
new DA into the folder H1/System/Desk.Accs. If you need more 
clarification on this part let me know. Next is an important step. You 
now have to reboot your GS before they will show-up in your NDA or CDA 
menu. Remember that some DA's you add may be either NDA or CDA's. The 
NDA's are under the Apple symbol pull down menu in the findar and other 
desktop programs, and CDA's are under a text menu you get to by pressing 
and holding the Control key, Open Apple key, and the Escape key. Hope 
this helps!
