Like I said in a previous message..  I used a CD-RW and recorded it and
closed it as a CD music disc (using EasyCD).  After that, I was unable to
use it "as if it were a CD-RW" by adding more files.  BUT... it
was a simple matter to re-FORMAT it (using Adaptec DirectCD) and restore it
as a fresh emtpy CD-RW.
