Hal-

Sorry to be so stupid, but I'm not sure I know what you mean. I have the
same "user names" on both machines, but I don't know if that's what you mean
by "installing" a user account on the Second machine.

By the way, I am no longer seeing the Main Computer on the Second Computer.
I don't know what changed.

Thanks so much for your help and patience.

Andy
