Hey Joe-

Guess I'll take a whack at some of this below. Hope it helps. I'm sure Bill
will set you straight.

...and on a full-Moon to boot! Serves you right fer getting it before me.

I had problems with the installation routine to hard drive way back when so
I'm not real sure but I think I had a few partitioned drives, a honking-big
RAID array, and three removable drives in addition to the DVD-R, CD-R, and
burner. There were problems! But I recall Bill posted a patch within a week
that fixed me right up. But I bet I know where this is going....

Double-click the selection. Personally, I'd like to see the use of the
spacebar to toggle the selection as well. IIRC (shipped my GUIDE-7 media
with a laptop today-DO'H!-and don't have it installed on this drive) you can
select with the "Enter" key. But you definitely gotta double-click if you're
mousing before you exit the dialog.

Maybe.

Hey, I dunno for certain and I hope you figure it out- let us know.
