FAR too many mouse clicks to get to a file via that route!

Can't recall if I ever figured that out on the original install or not,
but having in the interim used W9x's, I found out this time, probably
from force of habit.

Ah, so that's the secret! I wondered, because there wasn't any 'rename'
choice on the menu in the drive objects.

It's all academic now, because I found "File Freedom", a nice freeware
file manager. Two clicks and I'm where I wanna be! Moves AND renames!
Thanks for the help and info!
