Thanks Thor, I never heard about that feature.  Just checked it, and
was very pleased.  I guess I have never checked the properties of
a folder before.  Never had a reason to, until now.

(If Rod Speed happens to read this:
See how easy it is to be gracious to others?
Rather than rambling about how I would never use that method,
and it's useless, etc.  It works, and possibly better than my method,
so I will give it a try.  You have to broaden your mind a little.)
