Mike,
    I agree that an overaundance of information is better than none but 
it requires sifting through it and it seemed to be causing confusion in 
this case.  I know all about difficult to gauge user levels, my job 
deals with accessing this daily (though with windoze now:( ).  I too use 
a rich mixture of wps/cli and and recently added using Larsen Commander 
to the repetoire for some tasks.  I even wrote a simple rexx script I 
have to open the directory I am in in a window.
Good to hear that she probably wasn't affected, hope that is the case at 
least.
Stu,
    From what you wrote, it sounds like the first part of the 
instructions I wrote have been completed (the blue lettered one is the 
shadow).  Follow the second half of the instructions on the black 
lettered one to move it out of the desktop.  Where you move it is not 
really important, the lotusw4 directory makes sense though.

Either of ya'll likely to be able to make it to Warpstock?
I know with Mike in Australia it is a bit of a trip but one never 
knows.  Not sure where you are Stu.
Andy
