Owen;

Yup, I've double clicked and the asterisk is shown, and it didn't install.
Did you notice the filename isn't highlighted? Well I even double clicked to get
the asterisk and clicked one more time to highlight the file. That didn't work
either. Awaiting Bill's input. I bet he's scrambling to work this out. Thkx for
your input...joe :)
