A friend who left this area has given me a plant.  I think she called
it a Fishtail (Fern, Palm?).  It is about 3 feet high.  The stem near
the base is thick and woody.  It has about 3 or 4 stems with leaves
that do look like fishtails.  It is still in the temporary planter
in which it was purchased (I think this last spring).

Can anyone tell me about this plant, and what I should do to keep it
alive?  It looks like it could turn into a rather nice large houseplant.
It has a new branch forming, so I think it has possibilities.  Should
I re-pot it now or wait until spring?
