OK thanks, I missed that route through the cartoon-clutter.
Pity that Mandrake chose to ape M$ ?

Meanwhile I realised that I could open a terminal and connect-ppp
like I do in VT [non-X] mode.   Usually when I use linux, I use VT & lynx;
but I wanted to fetch a map.  The download ....map.gif automatically
showed in KDE's imageViewers , but after I 'SaveAs', it's not there.

Using mc's 'search tree for file' locks at some stage.
There's too much effort on smart-arse effects [like Windoze] and
not enough on solid reliability.

Thanks,
