Yves,

Thank you for your guidance. I'm sorry if I gave the impression I didn't
know how to move files, etc. I prefer the "back door" approach to file
handling and that is through Explorer. No, it isn't user friendly and you
have to be careful, but it is the way I learned :-) and it works great for
me. As I replied to Graham, I've been using Windows since the 3.1 days and
back then you had to use Explorer, although that wasn't what it was called
then, to move/copy files and set up folders. I guess I'm just an "old dog
that doesn't like to learn new tricks :-) ".

Your suggestions under Software is what I was really looking for. Thank you.

Harry
